In the town of Little Spittle, there are cowgirls, dinosaurs and crime-busting adventures! Abigail, who has always dreamed of becoming a sheriff's deputy, lives on the outskirts of town with her pet dinosaur, Rootbeer. Meanwhile, Clementine, daughter of the sheriff, was born into the life of fighting crime.
But when the Bandit Queen gets hold of some strange, dark magic, it's up to Clem, Abigail and Rootbeer to team up, defeat the Bandit Queen and save their beloved town from bandits, dinomagik and undercover attacks.
In a hilarious tale of two unlikely friends, Clem and Abigail show us how bravery comes in many forms, and working together makes an unstoppable team - all while on an action-packed adventure in an incredible setting!
