In the distant future...on a barren, dusty planet baked by the rays of two suns, colonists eke out a miserable existence in small settlements reminiscent of the Wild West. It has been over one hundred years since the mysterious spaceships brought them to this world; people know the old stories but no one remembers the lost technology that allows them to raise crops on this inhospitable land. In this lawless time stands a lone gunman. A legendary outlaw name is Vash the Stampede aka The Humanoid Typhoon.. The man is so dangerous, he was responsible for wiping out the entire city of July and a bounty was placed on his head: $$60 billion double dollars. Truly a man to be dreaded. Where he goes, destruction follows. Vash is a tall, thin, blonde guy, and his penchant for acting like a clueless idiot belies his amazing marksmanship and intelligence. Did I mention he has a thing for women? Because of the way Vash seems to attract trouble, an insurance company has set two agents to follow him around and make sure he causes as little damage as possible. The people for this job turn out to be two women whose characters more than succeed in matching Vash's. Meryl "Derringer" Streep and Millie "Stungun" Thompson stick to Vash like flies on garbage, much to the chagrin of the man himself. The former never fails to berate Vash at every opportunity while being polite to a fault, and the latter gives a whole new meaning to the word "airhead." Despite his reputation for the contrary, Vash always winds up helping out some person in distress, albeit sometimes involuntarily.
