Go West: A Lucky Luke Adventure 2007

Daltons escape and bank spree

The Dalton brothers escape a court trial in New York City and begin a spree of bank robberies across the city. Their audacious heists draw the attention of Lucky Luke, who tracks their movements through the crowded streets. The city reels as the Daltons push law and order to the limit.

Loot hidden in Central Park; Averell blows cover

They stash the loot in an empty wagon in Central Park, taking advantage of the park's ongoing construction to blend into the crowd. Averell accidentally reveals their presence, triggering a wild police chase through the streets of New York. The chase brings the Daltons under the eyes of the law in a dramatic early confrontation.

Lucky Luke explains the 80-day California deadline

The Daltons return to Central Park to retrieve their loot, only to be confronted by Lucky Luke. Piotr, leader of the immigrant caravan, explains that they have 80 days to reach California or Crook and Bartleby will profit from delays. Lucky Luke weighs the risks and reveals the larger scheme threatening both the travelers and the Daltons.

The risky route to California

To outrun Crook's plan, Lucky Luke chooses the dangerous route toward California instead of the safe, longer path. The caravan heads toward Hole Gutch, venturing through hostile terrain that tests their resolve. The decision sharpens the conflict between the law, the Daltons, and the scheming developers.

Hazardous journey through Hole Gutch and deserts

The caravan trudges through Hole Gutch, crosses the Deadly Desert of Death, and skirts the territory of the Crazy Wolves. Among the passengers are a Chinese chef couple, a schoolteacher Miss Littletown, a mule driver, and a barber, all hoping to reach the promised land. The crew's morale flickers as thirst, dust, and danger threaten to break their ranks.

Crook and Bartleby sow traps

Crook and Bartleby plant traps along the route in a bid to derail the caravans. Their schemes are clever but repeatedly thwarted by Lucky Luke and the determined settlers. The pursuit grows tenser as the deadline looms.

Crook drains water in the desert

Crook deliberately drains the water supplies for the thirsty settlers crossing the Deadly Desert of Death. The caravan faces a life-or-death test as people struggle to find moisture and shade. Luke stays focused on protecting the innocents while keeping an eye on the Daltons.

Averell's rain dance and cockroach moment

Averell dramatizes a cockroach in his shoe, triggering an accidental rain dance that disrupts the caravan with comic chaos. The moment provides levity amid the harsh journey, even as the tension with Crook's traps remains. The group clings to humor to endure the heat and hardship.

Bridge cannon plan and countdown to California

With California within 24 hours, Crook rigs the old canyon bridge to blow it up using a circus cannon. The plan threatens to strand the caravan and escalate the confrontation. Luke improvises to keep the group moving toward safety while confronting Crook.

Balloon wagons cross the canyon

Miss Littletown proposes turning several wagons into hot-air balloons to fly over the canyon. Some wagons lift off, carrying families and supplies toward California as Luke guides the airborne caravan. The daring escape conceals the harsh reality that California may not be what they expected.

Arrival in California reveals the mining trap

The caravan finally reaches California, only to discover the land is an old gold mine rather than fertile territory. Crook's treachery is exposed as the settlers confront the deception and the loss of their dream land. Joe tries to placate the crowd by promising a share of money hidden in the wagons, further complicating loyalties.

Daltons retreat into the abandoned mine; chase erupts

The Daltons flee with their stock into an abandoned gold mine, triggering a roller-coaster chase with the settlers, Lucky Luke, Rantanplan, and Crook. The mine becomes a chaotic battleground of traps, tunnels, and a desperate pursuit. Tensions soar as the law closes in on the brothers.

Dynamite detonates; loot destroyed; gold uncovered

Rantanplan retrieves dynamite and triggers a mega explosion inside the mine. The blast destroys the Daltons' loot and unexpectedly reveals gold beneath the sold lands. The settlers rally around the new discovery, turning misfortune into a plausible fortune.
