Vroča sedla so komična parodija na divji zahod, kjer se bo odvijal najbolj smešen vestern vseh časov. Hedley Lamarr je pohlepen senatorjev pomočnik, ki bi si rad pridobil zemljo prebivalcev mesteca Rock Ridge. Tam za župana določi temnopoltega kaznjenca Barta, saj upa, da bodo ljudje obupali nad njim in kar sami odšli iz mesta. Toda njegovi načrti se izjalovijo.
The Ultimate Western Spoof. A town where everyone seems to be named Johnson is in the way of the railroad. In order to grab their land, Hedley Lemar (Harvey Korman), a politically connected nasty person, sends in his henchmen to make the town unlivable. After the sheriff is killed, the town demands a new sheriff from the Governor (Mel Brooks). Hedley convinces him to send the town the first Black sheriff (Cleavon Little) in the west. Bart is a sophisticated urbanite who will have some difficulty winning over the townspeople.
