O.U. West

Oliver U. West is the quintessential 'poor little rich boy,' a pampered socialite whose primary talent is squandering his father's fortune on illicit liquor and late-night revelry. Exasperated by his son's lack of backbone, the elder West decrees a radical cure: Oliver is to be shipped to the rugged frontier to find his lost masculinity. The journey begins with a whiskey-soaked detour when Oliver impulsively kidnaps a Pullman porter, bringing him along for a ride that neither is prepared for. Upon arrival at the Jones ranch, Oliver is met with the cold disdain of Cass Jones and the sharp-tongued Tina, who view him as a useless Eastern artifact. The film tracks Oliver’s grueling transformation from a silk-shirted dandy into a sun-baked ranch hand, a transition marked by the violent jolts of bucking broncos. However, the true test of his character arrives when the Crawley brothers, a clan of ruthless cattle thieves, descend upon the ranch. Oliver must abandon his civilized veneers and engage in a desperate, single-handed pursuit of the outlaws to prove he is more than just a name on a trust fund.
