7.0 / 10 · TMDB

In this two-reel comedy, Edward Everett Horton is the pampered scion of a family, raised by a couple of prissy aunts. He does card tricks. Through various machinations, he winds up running a saloon out west, where he charms one of the two tough guys in town by taking away his tie and fixing a bow tie to him; the other, Jack Curtis, he bests at poker "for keeps!" and wins the heart of local good girl Violet Bird.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor on the clash between refined manners and rough frontier life, relying on Edward Everett Horton's signature performance of flustered elegance and polite panic.

What lingers after the final reel is the charm of a vaudeville act dressed in cowboy boots, where cleverness triumphs over brute force. A delightful period piece that plays its cards right. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: J.A. Howe
