6[[TheDrifter Tequila]] (a lynx) arrives in Stinky Town to visit his old friend Boom Boom, a bear. After interacting with various denizens, Tequila meets up with Boom Boom, the owner of a mine possibly filled with gold. Tequila also meets Melissa, a pretty female raccoon, whose family is in financial trouble; they owe debts to both the general store and [[BigBad Mr. E. Vyle]]. When Tequila defends Melissa from Vyle, things go FromBadToWorse as Tequila faces Vyle's gang to save Melissa and Stinky Town.

14* BarSlide: To get the Dragonbreath drink at the saloon, you need to have Tequila catch it as it slides down the bar; it can take a few tries to grab it.
15* BettyAndVeronica: Melissa and Wanda. Melissa is a [[NiceGuy sweet lady]]; in contrast, Wanda is a saloon girl dressed in very revealing clothes and works for Vyle.

18* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Saloon girl Wanda is rude to Tequila but softens up once you bring her a flower.
19* BoyfriendBlockingDad: Melissa's father. When Tequila walks Melissa home, her father threatens the lynx and opens fire on him with a rifle. Later, when Tequila pays off the family's debt at the general store, Melissa's father still isn't happy with his daughter kissing Tequila as thanks.
