Featuring Moe, Larry and Shemp
16.6 min. (Short Subject)
The Stooges go west on vacation for Shemp's health, who has a swollen vein in his leg. At a saloon the boys become acquainted with bar singer Nell, and Shemp begins to tell her about his vein. Doc Barker overhears and thinks Shemp is talking about a hidden vein of gold. The boys learn that Doc Barker stole the Red Dog Saloon from Nell's father, and is holding her two sisters hostage until she agrees to marry him. The Stooges disguise themselves as three southern gentlemen, effect a jailbreak for the girls, and a wild chase with the bad guys is on.
A remake, with stock footage, of OUT WEST (1947). The chase sequence utilizes stock footage from GOOFS AND SADDLES (1937). Stanley Blystone was cast for new scenes, to match his appearance in the 1937 stock footage; he did not appear in OUT WEST.
