Synopsis

Comedy. Based on the American television series of the 1960's, the film version employs spectacular effects in its portrayal of the 19th-century adventures of American secret service agent-cum-action man James West and his fellow agent, Artemis Gordon - who just happens to be a master of disguise. West and Gordon are requested by President Ulysses S. Grant to get to grips with the evil Dr Arliss Loveless, a weapons expert who is intent on revenging himself on society as a whole with the most destructive weapons known to man - of which he seems to have amassed a very large collection.....
