This western spoof is solid entertainment with Bob Hope as the centerpiece of the story. The zany antics of this greenhorn out west to inherit his father's fortune is the main plot outline and Hope manages to entangle himself in a federal investigation involving a rash of robberies by a notorious outlaw gang. Roy Rogers and Trigger also star in this colorful drama with Jane Russell along to provide sparks and fireworks for Hope. The picture moves at a brisk pace with a mixture of comedy, Russell's profile, shootouts, Trigger's capers and an Indian attack, although Rogers is essentially a straight man for Hope's one-liners. Rogers sings a tune or two and Russell's warbling is also good. Bill Williams is among the supporting cast and is good but his eastern accent is out of place in a western movie.
