Pickett seeks to avenge his brother, who was needlessly killed by Union soldiers outside of conflict.Threadgill encounters two brothers building a time machine, a trio of Ku Kluxers, a man collecting monkeys that turn out to be rabid, a wannabe country singer, and a cab-driving woman to make men stand in awe.
