Synopsis

The publisher of Boston's wildlife magazine assigns his editor Kenneth Cabot, along with the Three Stooges, who have been bungling their work in the magazine's pressroom, to go out West and halt the slaughter of buffalo. There they encounter every gunslinger, from Wild Bill Hickok to Jesse James and Billy The Kid, as they inadvertently hamper the gang leaders' plans. Annie Oakley saves them with her many trick gunshots. The gang leaders are exposed; the Three Stooges persuade them to mend their ways; and Annie asks Kenneth to marry her.
