More Description The Old West...with a slight twist.Merklund Grimes is having an ordinary day, idling away in his barbershop in late 1800s Junction Springs, Kansas. Things are quiet in this sleepy little town until his life is turned completely upside down when an enigmatic figure steps through his door and threatens to unearth a dark and buried secret. What follows is a string of peculiar events that leads Grimes to commit an act he's ill-suited to perform, one with dire consequences. Just when you thought you've read it all, here comes a Western tale unlike any other, one that stretches the normal boundaries of convention.American Flim-Flam plays fast and loose with our nation's past, offering a fresh and oftentimes satirical take on the paragons of our country's popular culture, including our national pastime and the Old West. You'll encounter dozens of oddball characters and find yourself engrossed in outlandish situations as we look to lampoon our over-glorified heritage. The series, including Big League Balderdash, Barnstormin' and Effervescent Elixirol proves you can rewrite history-and have a ripping good time doing it.Be sure to follow Merklund Grimes' continuing exploits as he appears in Barnstormin', where he picks up his old line of work and tries his hand at a brand new one.
