Plot
The Stooges are crooked gamblers in the Old Western town of Lobo City. Eventually, they are caught cheating the residents of a frontier town, including an evil, tough, muscular woodcutter named Pierre (Bud Jamison) when Larry hid a horseshoe magnet inside his shoe. They are discovered and must escape into the wilderness. Now as fugitives, the Stooges have to elude the sheriff; they hunt, fish, and disguise themselves as Indians.
Things start to go wrong when Pierre takes a liking to Curly, who is disguised as an Indian woman. The two soon get married, then eventually Curly's wig accidentally slips off and the trio has to make another run for it. They eventually find what they believe to be a safe place to hide, only to discover that they have accidentally locked themselves in the Lobo City Jail.
