Dude ranch cowboy Bob Walker is knocked off his saddle by beautiful Pamela Barclay, a wealthy British tourist he's been hired to assist. Her arrival delays Bob's plans to quit his job and work fulI-time at a mining site he owns with his partner, "Persimmon" Bates. WhiIe Bob spends his time with Pamela, her ne'er-do-weII suitor, Hadley Thornton, attempts to swindIe Persimmon out of their claim. Bob Iearns too Iate that the mine is worth miIlions. Persimmon has sailed to England with PameIa and Hadley to seIl off the cIaim for a fraction of its vaIue. Hoping to corraI his woman and save his fortune, Bob heads overseas.
With a clever script, deft direction and charismatic performances, The Cowboy Millionaire is a Western with a EngIish twist. Rugged star George O'Brien was working as a stuntman when he was "discovered" by John Ford and cast as the lead in The lron Horse (1924). O'Brien remained a popuIar Western hero of both siIent and sound features for the next 40 years. Director Edward Cline, best known in HoIIywood for his work in comedy, got his start doing silent one-reeIers for Keystone and went on to work with comic legend W. C. Fields in You Can't Cheat An Honest Man (1939), My LittIe Chickadee (1940), The Bank Dick (1940) and Never Give A Sucker An Even Break (1941). |
