The Outlaws Is Coming

The Three Stooges travel from the East to the West as three bumbling newspaper printers along with reporter Ken Cabot to Casper, Wyoming to investigate the slaughter of the buffalo by Rance Roden. Rance plots to kill off all the buffalo, causing the Indians to riot and destroy the US Cavalry, and allowing the Roden gang to take over the West. Ken Cabot’s shooting skill, secretly aided by Annie Oakley, earns him the job of Sheriff. Rance calls on his band of famous outlaws to kill Cabot and The Three Stooges, but Moe, Larry and Curly Joe sneak into the gang’s hideout while they’re asleep and glue their firearms to their holsters. When Cabot confronts the bad guys and wins, the outlaws (with Stooge-like prompting from the boys) decide that a life of justice is better than crime. Rance Roden is played by Don Lamond, Larry’s son-in-law and longtime host of The Three Stooges show in Los Angeles. Adam West played Ken Cabot who later starred in the popular TV series ‘Batman’ and today as the Mayor in ‘Family Guy,’ and with co-stars Nancy Kovak as Annie Oakley and Henry Gibson who later starred on ‘Laugh-In’.
