Stan and Ollie travel by mule to a typical old west town. The promised to deliver a deed to a gold mine to the daughter of an old prospector friend. She works in the town saloon, where the owner overhears their plans and schemes to get the deed from them. Entertaining if low-brow humor from the famous comedy duo, filled with their brand of cartoon-ish slapstick, spoofing the western genre.
