GIRL TROUBLE

Three "Gents" meet in jail and while there overhear a conversation which enables them to do some clever work upon their release — they become real cavaliers after subduing a gang of ranch crooks.
WEST ON PARADE
Bud and Ben in another of their delightful scrapes. They have been promised jobs on the Bar-X-Ranch — hired by mail in other words — but they seem to have come into enemy country. To fight to protect the ranch instead of the "yearlings" is their job. The plot thickens and even though Ackroyd, the villain, holds undisputed sway with Hennessey, the town's big politician, luck is with Bud'n'Ben and the triumphant return to the ranch is the happy climax.
