While this film has stalwart western star George O'Brien and Smiley Burnette,in an early loan out from Mascot/Republic, this is not really a western. It's a nineteen-thirties era drawing room comedy with a little crime and action tossed in for good measure, set at a dude ranch to give it a western motif. It's a Polly Ann Young picture first and foremost, if you can take her style. O'Brien plays his role with a certain light charm that was second nature to him. Burnette does a couple of songs including introducing "Take Me Back To My Boots And Saddles", popularized by his long-time co-star Gene Autry after his recording of it came out a year and a half later. George Sherman and Lewis J. Rachmil were behind the cameras learning their respective trades and went on to long careers in westerns and other films as well. Other-wise not much except as a curio.
