Buffalo-Bill’s Wild West Circus (Puhveli-Billin lännensirkus)

They say that Columbus discovered America, although really the Vikings and the American Indians had found the place a great deal before he set sail. Still, this is no moment to stand around arguing about it – it’s time to join that wagon train with the early pioneers and ride off towards the empty wilds of the West. Along the way we meet up with a stetson-full of famous Wild West heroes, among them the fearless fur-trapper Davy Crocodile, Wild Bill Hickockerel, the tough sheriff of Grubstake Gulch, trainrobber Jesse Jackrabbit and his gang, and of course the circus artists Annie Sharpshooter and Buffalo Bill.
