Moe, Larry and Curly are three out of work actors who have been hired as guides to get Nell and her Belles across the plains to San Francisco in time for their engagement, so of course they're in trouble. Bears steal their food, Indians tell them to scram (or else!), and Curly manages to frighten away their horses. After spending the night in a make-shift cabin (built out of stage scenery), the Indians return and kidnap the girls.
Costar Lorna Gray (Flossie) was a guest of the 1995 Three Stooges Convention, and the 2004 Fan Club Meeting, both held in Philadelphia. See The Three Stooges Journal # 75 (Fall 1995) and # 110 (Summer 2004) for details.
Costar Linda Winters went back to her real name of [Dorothy] Comingore, and costarred to critical acclaim as 'Susan Alexander Kane' opposite Orson Welles in CITIZEN KANE (1941). She was blacklisted in 1951 after testifying at the McCarthy hearings.
