Greaser's Palace is a western comedy film that follows the story of Jessy, a wandering performer who bears a striking resemblance to Jesus Christ. Jessy arrives in a small town called Greaser's Palace and quickly becomes entangled in the lives of its eccentric inhabitants.
Throughout the film, Jessy performs miracles and spreads messages of love and peace, much to the confusion and amusement of the townsfolk. His performances include tap dancing, rope tricks, and a rendition of "The Lord's Prayer" set to a rockabilly backing track.
The film is known for its surrealist and absurdist humor, such as a scene where a man repeatedly asks Jessy for the time, only to be hit over the head with a giant clock. There is also a subplot involving a sheriff who is trying to track down a dangerous criminal named Cholera, who is revealed to be a giant, disco-dancing lizard.
As the film progresses, Jessy's true identity is revealed, and he is met with a violent and tragic end. However, the film ends on a hopeful note, with Jessy's message of love and peace ultimately prevailing.
Overall, Greaser's Palace is a unique and unconventional take on the life of Christ, blending elements of westerns, musicals, and absurdist humor. It may not be for everyone, but it remains a cult classic among fans of offbeat cinema.
