Jessi Frances as Cuzzin Jessi The Town Drunk

When Cuzzin Jessie heard the call to arms, she jumped at the chance to join the posse searching for the Highway Robber. The only problem was she jumped at the chance from a bar stool and by "jumped" we mean fell backwards into a pool of somebody's sick and rolling backwards until she landed in a suspicious puddle outside.

Just because one is considered to have an itsie-bitsie bit of a ala-coholic drinkie-winkie problem, doesn't mean that one can't be a big help in bringing law to this little town. Cuzzin Jessi was able to put herself in the mind of the lawbreaker. She slept as she imagined the robber would have slept. She drank and ate and drank again as she imagined the robber would drink and eat and drink some more. Before long, she found herself on the trail of the criminal and far, far off the wagon.

While Cuzzin Jessi wasn't the one to find the bad guy, she was definitely the one to be found sleeping in the drunk tank the next morning. Everyone in this western town had a part to play, but right then hearing about any of that would just make Cuzzin Jessi's head hurt even more.
