Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
Invited to stage a Wild West show at a dude ranch, rodeo king Bill Hammon (Hoot Gibson) makes an impressive arrival by parachuting into the swimming pool from an airplane in this fanciful Western-comedy produced by Universal. A couple of jewel thieves briefly ruin what otherwise would be a pleasant stay for Hammond. The rodeo cowboy quickly brings the villains to justice and is free to romance lovely Connie Lamont (Olive Hasbrouck). Gibson enjoyed these less than action-packed comedy-Westerns, in which his rustic humor took center stage over smoking guns and fisticuffs. Enough folks agreed to make Gibson Universal's top-grossing cowboy.
