A burlesque of the horse opera. A timid, traveling dentist, mistaken for a federal agent, despite gun duels and an attempted burning at the stake, escapes the Indians on the warpath, outwits the outlaws, and wins the love of a gun-toting cowgirl.
Peter "Painless" Potter (Bob Hope) is a dentist of doubtful competence. His partner of Calamity Jane (Jane Russell) is killed while trying to discover who's been illegally selling guns to Indians. One day while protecting everyone during a hold-up, Jane gives all the credit to Painless.
