Rl. June 3 / Prod. No. 4211 / 17 m / p d Jules White / st Clyde Bruckman / scr Jack White / ad Irving Moore / ph Gert Andersen / e Edwin Bryant / a Ross Bellah / C: Christine McIntyre (Nell), George Chesebro (Quirt), Norman Willis (Doc Barker in stock footage), Heinie Conklin (Henchman), Vernon Dent (Doctor in stock footage), Jacques O'Mahoney (Johnny, the Arizona Kid, in stock footage), Stanley Blystone (Colonel, in stock footage), Frank Ellis (Jake, in stock footage), Ruth Godfrey (Belle) and Norman Randall (Zell)

SYN: The Stooges embark on a Wild West mission in an attempt to save Nell's sisters from the clutches of the evil Doc Barker and his gang of henchmen. The boys disguise themselves as Southern Gentlemen to sneak in and save the goils. They use a covered wagon as a getaway vehicle when they rescue Belle and Zell, Nell's entrapped sisters. You know...one of those covered wagons fully-equipped with a monkey and a meat grinder machine gun. Two "must-have" options for a Stooges wild-west western short ending in a high-speed wagon getaway scene.

Quick Hits:

- In this wacky remake, script alterations included Larry winding up in jail, and the trio fleeing from Barker and his gang in a covered wagon

WT: Cuckoo Westerners / SD: 1 (Date not listed) / FN: Remake of Out West (4/24/47), with only exception being the boys' (not the Arizona Kids') freeing of Nell's sisters in the new footage. Features stock footage from Goofs and Saddles (7/2/37). The gag of mixing liquids in an old boot reappears. Also, the exchanging cards under the table routine appears, which was staged in Goofs and Saddles (7/2/37) and in Out West (4/24/47).
