Lost and lonely, Rango bravely straps on a pair of chaps and tells a tall tale that convinces the towns folk to appoint him sheriff. Unfortunately, Rango blew into Dirt just as the town’s water supply is inexplicably shut off - and the bank’s reserves have been robbed. Everyone is counting on him to save the day and before he knows it, Rango embarks on the adventure of a lifetime and confronts the Wild West’s outlaws as he tries to oust the unlikely villain and restore water to Dirt.
