Walter Catlett is the cousin to some squeaky voiced Dagwood Bumstead type who can't get a girl. Can he browbeat his cousin into swiping pretty girl from accomplished gunman, boxer, and horseman Franklin Pangborn (!?
This late Mack Sennett short subject is fairly unremarkable in terms of composition, although by this stage his productions had settled down, losing the erratic nature of his early sound films, in which one was very funny and the next a rather boring retread of one of his standard scripts.In this one, Emerson Treacy and Franklin Pangborn are competing for the charms of Joyce Compton, with Treacy a rather timid young man, and Pangborn a he-man -- he shoots, he rides and he punches out Treacy.
This 20-minute Mack Sennett short was an extra for theater features in 1933. And, it's a very good warm-up, especially for comedy and/or romance films that might follow.
