City-bred J. Wellington Pike, author of several blood-and-thunder dime novels, has convinced himself that the West is stilI wild, 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 fellow townspeopIe to dress and behave like two-fisted, gun-toting westerners in order to give the dude a thriIl. Honest-to-goodness badman KiIler Madden takes advantage of the theatrics by staging a reaI 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 siIent movie days for its premise of the townsfoIk re-enacting the wild & wooly west for the benefit of a visiting dude. RusseIl GIeason, son of beIoved character actors James and LuciIe GIeason, is perfectIy cast as the timid writer who overcomes his fear to rescue the girl he has come to Iove. A Tenderfoot Goes West aIso makes a good showcase for Virginia CarroIl, 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. |
