Plot

[edit]

Set in the American Old West, the Stooges are scouts tasked with apprehending a notorious gang of cattle rustlers under the command of the nefarious Longhorn Pete. Directed by General Muster, the trio embarks on their mission, employing stealth tactics by concealing themselves amidst the terrain, masquerading as bushes in a bid to surveil the rustlers' activities.

However, their efforts are swiftly thwarted when the cunning rustlers discern their ruse and unleash a volley of gunfire, compelling the Stooges to hastily retreat. They ultimately find themselves seeking refuge within Longhorn Pete's bustling saloon, where they resort to adopting disguises as gamblers while awaiting the arrival of the cavalry.

In a desperate bid to alert General Muster of their predicament, Moe endeavors to dispatch a message via carrier pigeon, only for their clandestine communication to be intercepted by Pete, thereby jeopardizing their cover. Forced to flee again, the Stooges seize upon a covered wagon as their means of escape, inadvertently embarking on a chaotic journey replete with household paraphernalia and an unexpected simian companion. As the pursuit intensifies, the Stooges ingeniously repurpose a meat grinder into an improvised weapon, transforming it into a makeshift Gatling gun by fortuitously incorporating ammunition and a gun belt. Their resourcefulness turns the tide of the confrontation, enabling them to overpower the bandits until the timely intervention of General Muster and his troops culminates in the apprehension of the outlaws.

However, amidst the celebratory accolades, an unforeseen mishap ensues when the mischievous monkey inadvertently activates the grinder, triggering a flurry of shots that prompts the Stooges to hastily retreat from the scene.
