Way Out West  (1937)


In one of their best-loved comedies, Stan and Ollie travel to Brushwood Gulch to deliver a deed to a gold mine to its rightful inheritor.  When a shady saloon owner and his dance-hall girlfriend scheme to take it for themselves, it’s up to the Boys to put things right, in bungling slapstick fashion, with some endearing musical numbers along the way.
