This film, made by Stan Laurel before his teaming with Oliver Hardy, is a spoof of the Klondike gold-rush story "The Spoilers". It is virtually plotless and focuses almost entirely on the all-out knockdown fist-fight seen in the serious versions. What sets it apart is the fact that - surprisingly for the era - the fight is interrupted on several occasions by a *very* effeminate cowboy; more Ginger Rogers than Roy Rogers!
