Henry rides with her to town, where she wants to go shopping for her wedding clothes, but they run out of gas. No, problem' Henry holds up a passing motorist, with a monkey-wrench, and takes gasoline out of his car. They stop at a ranch where the foreman makes them become the cook and dishwasher. Then Jerome Underwood and his daughter, Harriet, arrive and they recognize Henry and Sally as the ones who held them up for gas. The jealous sheriff adds to the complications.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic situational comedy, relying on the contrast between a hypochondriac city dweller and the rugged life of the Old West. It explores themes of personal growth and unexpected romance through a series of chases and comedic misunderstandings.
Those who tire of heavy dramas will find a cheerful, fast-paced romp where each new scrape is funnier than the last, leaving a pleasantly lighthearted feeling. — MovieFinder Editorial
