Gold Raiders
Gold Raiders is a 1951 comedy Western film starring George O'Brien and The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard). The picture was O'Brien's last starring role and the only feature film released during Shemp Howard's 1947–55 tenure with the trio.
Plot
Set in the Old West, the Stooges are peddlers, traversing the terrain via a covered wagon. George O'Brien, previously engaged as a federal marshal, has transitioned his occupation to the burgeoning field of property insurance. O'Brien strategically recruits the Stooges to aid him in devising a plan to outmaneuver a notorious gang of outlaws, under the leadership of saloon proprietor Taggart, whose criminal activities involve the pilfering of precious gold-mine consignments.
