Bud and Lou are Duke and Willoughby respectively. They are two peanut vendors at a rodeo who get into nothing but trouble with their boss and have to hide in a train car to escape his wrath.
The two clowns get jobs at a small dude ranch and there are some hilarious scenes of Willoughby trying to break in a wild horse. Duke and Willoughby also get involved in a poker game that is unforgettable.
Rodeo rider Bronco Bob Mitchell (Dick Foran) tries to make a comeback in the business he knows best all the while being romanced by the lovely Anne Shaw (Anne Gwynne).
There is some pretty good music numbers in this film and everything meshes well with the slapstick comedy of Bud and Lou. This is not one of their better known efforts, but it does a great job in making the viewer smile and sometimes laugh out loud. I know I did.
The rest of the cast includes familiar Universal players as Ted McMichael, Samuel S. Hinds and Douglass Dumbrille. Others include Ella Fitzgerald who sings a couple of catchy tunes, Johnny Mack Brown and Morris Ankrum.
If you get a chance, check this out. It's well worth the time.
