Featuring Moe, Larry and Shemp
17.6 min. (Short Subject)
The Stooges go west on vacation for Shemp's health, who has a swollen vein in his leg. At a saloon the Stooges get acquainted with Nell and Shemp begins to tell her about his vein. Doc Barker overhears and thinks Shemp is talking about a gold mine, and plots to steal it by inviting Shemp into a crooked poker game. The boys learn that Doc Barker stole the Red Dog Saloon from Nell and is forcing her to marry him, otherwise he'll kill her sweetheart the Arizona Kid. Stooges to the rescue!
Remade as PALS AND GALS (1954), with stock footage.
