Rick and Ruby

Director(s)

Scott Woodburn

Director
Synopsis
Ruby, a mysterious, leather-clad badass, drags a trunk with unknown cargo to a seedy Roadhouse in the middle of nowhere.
Inside, three overly friendly hicks overpower her and prepare to have their "dueling banjos" way, when her trunk teeters over and...
out...
pops...
RICK.
A "man" with an unquenchable thirst and an allergy to the sun.
In short order Rick and Ruby dole out their own form of frontier justice on the trio of hillbillies in a suitably grotesque and oddly satisfying fashion.

Heads and dad-jokes roll.
