Mae West and W.C. Fields tear up the old west in this modest romp. Mae, as usual, makes herself the center of attention, quipping double entendres whenever the opportunity arises. She cons Fields into marriage to get his money, but when it turns out to be funny money she turns her attentions elsewhere. Fields does his usual schtick, mumbling asides, conning suckers, etc., while masquerading as the town sheriff. The pairing of these two giant egos doesn't really work, they have almost no chemistry whenever on screen together, but there are some good moments when separated.
