Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis appear here in their second-last movie together as handsome Western troubadour Slim Moseley (Martin) and doltish rich-kid Wade Kingsley (Lewis), sons of former ranch partners who find themselves involved with bank robberies, chases, saloon gunfights, runaway horses, prize bulls and saloon girls.
The villains of the piece are a gang who – operating as “The Masked Raiders” – have successfully continued their outlawish enterprises for more than 20 years (subject to a few changes in personnel of course).
Despite such a run of luck, they meet their nemesis in Dean and Jerry . . .
It isn’t funny and it isn’t much of a Western, but Agnes Moorhead is superbly cast as Jerry Lewis’s millionaire mum!
