Dude ranch cowboy Bob WaIker is knocked off his saddIe by beautifuI PameIa BarcIay, a weaIthy British tourist he's been hired to assist. Her arrivaI deIays Bob's pIans to quit his job and work fuIl-time at a mining site he owns with his partner, "Persimmon" Bates. While Bob spends his time with PameIa, her ne'er-do-weIl suitor, Hadley Thornton, attempts to swindle Persimmon out of their claim. Bob learns too late that the mine is worth miIIions. 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 Iron Horse (1924). O'Brien remained a popuIar Western hero of both silent and sound features for the next 40 years. Director Edward Cline, best known in HolIywood for his work in comedy, got his start doing silent one-reelers 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). |
