On a Hollywood film set where a biopic is being made
about his life, Wyatt Earp teams up with movie star cowboy Tom Mix to solve a murder.
This whodunit comedy misfires aplenty, mostly due to a
poor script, lazy direction and a couple of poor performances. It captures the period of the early 20th century quite well, but isn't really worth watching with that alone to recommend
it.
