The boys are part of the cavalry and find themselves sent off to put down some rustlers. Of course, they are considered and elite fighting force. They bumble their way along until they are in danger. Of course they seem to come out on top not matter what happens. There is a great battle scene at the end. Much more creative and imaginative than most of these.

However, here they are actually credited with other names, namely the names of their Buffalo Bill references Wild West characters, which is not too common for their films. The Stooges were all in their 30s when this was made and already pretty big stars. It's also obvious that Curly is the star at this point from the trio as he has basically all the really funny scenes. The director is Del Lord and the writer is Felix Adler. These two worked with the Stooges on uncountable occasions. It's a black-and-white film, like most of the Stooges' works and shows us how the trio runs into a gang of crooks in the Wild West. Lots of shooting going on, but as the Stooges are entirely comedy, nobody gets hurt. The funniest scene was maybe the card game, but the rest did not do too much for me and even if this is one of the Stooges' more famous film, I found it disappointing all in all. Not recommended.

With the Indian Wars done, the cavalry under General Muster is turning its attention to cattle rustlers and the General sends the boys to deal with him.With quite a few laughs they do get the job done. Some wonderful bits as a jackass exposes the camouflage cover of three other jackasses. There's an interesting poker game and finally the Three Stooges with their backs to the wall improvise a Gatling gun to some very funny effects.Moe, Larry, and Curly are really at their top in Goofs And Saddles.
... View MoreOne of their best shorts ever. The boys are spies called in to round up a team of cattle rustlers. There is one great gag after another in this really fast moving short. A card game with the boss of the rustlers is a particular highlight. A great short the shows how funny and often underrated the Stooges are!
