Jim, Wahoo and Polka Dot (Fred MacMurray, Jack Oakie, Lloyd Nolan) have a scam in this unusual western. Wahoo works as a stage coach driver and his pals rob his stage after he lets them know that they are coming! However, inexplicably, Jim and Wahoo do something you'd never expect...they join the Texas Rangers (the law enforcement group...not the baseball team). While the plan originally is to use this organization to do more crooked business, eventually something weird happens...Wahoo in particular likes being respectable and the pair decide to actually go straight. But what about Polka Dot? How's he going to react to this?
This film certainly did have an unusual plot and the casting of Oakie in particular was odd. This isn't to say it's bad...but very strange. It also is strange when it comes to names.... Wahoo and Polka Dot???!
So despite this, is the film any good? Yes. Now I am not saying it's great art or something that will change your life, but it is entertaining and the film is never dull.
