Hard to go wrong with Jack Oakie.

The first half of this picture is absolutely fantastic. Then, when the outlaws-posing-as-good-guys have to start, you know, being good lest the Hays Code go nuts, it gets a little standard. . .and then is merely good.

A hilarious Wild West courtroom scene, too – not too dissimilar from what’s seen in Deadwood.
