When a simulant ship puts a virus in Red Dwarf's computers, Kryten decides to contract the virus himself to find a cure.

Further details

As the rest of the crew watch his dreams, his mind seems to have been turned the virus into some sort of Western film. Kryten is the sheriff in a town, but is told to leave by his enemies. Lister, Cat and Rimmer decide to use the Artificial Reality machine to go into Kryten's dreams and help him. Of course, they do have to remind him of why he's there when they get there!
