Spoilers ahead

An anthology film, Annie Get Your Gun presents a collection of diverse stories, each featuring a unique set of characters. The first tale, titled “The Martins and the Coys,” revolves around a long-standing family feud between the infamous hillbilly families—the Martins and the Coys. The ruckus begins when the inebriated grandfather of the Coy family stealthily steals eggs from the Martins’ henhouse. This seemingly trivial act escalates into gunfire as both families retaliate against one another, resulting in a brutal showdown that claims the lives of many family members. As their souls ascend, they find themselves in two adjacent clouds, where they bear witness to the outcomes of their remaining kin. Ultimately, only one survivor from each family remains: Grace Martin and Henry Coy.
