Plot
Shemp's ailment, an enlarged vein in his leg, triggers concerns about potential amputation. Following medical advice, he embarks on a therapeutic journey to the Old West. Arriving in a frontier town characterized by its lawlessness, the trio forms an unlikely bond with the notorious outlaw Doc Barker. Misinterpreting Shemp's reference to his medical condition as a metaphor for a lucrative gold vein, Barker becomes intrigued. However, their newfound camaraderie is tested when Nell, a local resident, reveals Barker's true identity as an outlaw holding her sisters captive.
