Summary
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.
Synopsis
Oliver U. West, the wastrel son of a wealthy father, is sent west in an effort to make him a man. On the way West, Oliver gets drunk with a Pullman porter and takes him along to the ranch. Cass Jones and his daughter, Tina, do their best to straighten out the Eastern dude, and Oliver is soon at home on the back of a bucking horse. The Crawley brothers, a dissolute clan of cattle thieves, raid the Jones ranch and run off the herd. Oliver rides after the Crawleys and, single-handed, subdues them, winning Tina's love and admiration.
