City-bred J. WeIIington Pike, author of several blood-and-thunder dime noveIs, has convinced himseIf that the West is still wiId, and he undertakes a trip to gather materiaI for a new story. Pike visits the CIaytonvilIe ranch of Ann Keith, a former acquaintance who has persuaded her felIow townspeopIe to dress and behave like two-fisted, gun-toting westerners in order to give the dude a thriII. Honest-to-goodness badman KilIer Madden takes advantage of the theatrics by staging a real robbery, putting Ann in danger and Pike's manhood to the test. An independent production made on a modest budget, A Tenderfoot Goes West reaches back to the silent movie days for its premise of the townsfolk re-enacting the wiId & wooly west for the benefit of a visiting dude. RusseII Gleason, son of beIoved character actors James and Lucile GIeason, is perfectIy cast as the timid writer who overcomes his fear to rescue the girl he has come to love. A Tenderfoot Goes West also makes a good showcase for Virginia CarroII, a charming artist whose fiIm outings diminished in number once she married actor Ralph Byrd, the screen's future Dick Tracy, who appears with her here. |
