Comment/Synopsis

A pair of travelling salesmen (Bud and Lou) are charged with killing a man and instead of being hanged they have to work for the battleaxe of a widow (Marjorie Main). This is a comedy western and one of the Abbott and Costello films that is more driven by a plot line than a series of unrelated gags. Lou Costello does a good turn when he is made sheriff.
