Comedy, Crime, Drama

In a blue-collar American town, a group of teens bands together to form the Dandies, a gang of gunslingers led by Dick Dandelion. Following a code of strict pacifism at odds with the fact that they all carry guns, the group eventually lets in Sebastian, the grandson of Dick's childhood nanny, Clarabelle, who fears the other gangs in the area. Dick and company try to protect Clarabelle, but events transpire that push the gang past posturing.

Plot

Young loner Dick, who lives in the poor mining town of Estherslope, happens upon a small handgun one day and feels strangely drawn to it despite his fervent pacifist views. With his newfound partner he soon convinces the town's other young outcasts to join him in a secret club he calls The Dandies, a club based on the principles of pacifism and guns. Despite their firm belief in the most important Dandy rule of all--never draw your weapons--they soon get into a predicament where they realize that rules are made to be broken.
