Situational Comedy

A serious western this is not. Neither is it an Abbot and Costello adventure as rubes trying to be cowboys. Instead it evolves into a western strewn with serial comedic situations. As the son of a NY senator seeking reelection, Bob Lansing is sent back west with Ben after trying to protect Marge Holt in a night club. Driving around out in Montana, they manage to lose their stylish car and fine clothes. Eventually they are taken to a ranch, plagued by cattle rustlers and owned by none other than Ms. Holt, who recognizes Bob but covers her own identity from him. Somehow they must avoid being arrested and help protect the ranch from the rustlers. The humor in this film is based on their naivete and foolhardiness. I would recommend viewing it on that basis.
