Synopsis

The west has never been wilder - or wackier - as the greatest comedy duo of all-time slap on the chaps and hit the dusty trail for some rip-roarin’ fun on the range. Whether they’re corralling cattle, serenading the lovely ladies or dukin’ it out with the local bad guys, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis are at their rootin’-tootin’ best. The sons of former ranch partners, Slim Mosely (Martin) and Wade Kingsley (Lewis) have grown up in very different worlds. Needing help rescuing his ranch from greedy landowners, Slim heads to Manhattan and ropes millionaire Wade into coming west. Once there, the goofy city-slicker learns to become a real cowpoke as he and his new partner clean up the town in this sagebrush comedy classic.
