Smilin' Guns

Oh, Boy! -wait until you see how this action whirlwind stepped right into high society, cleaned up a murderous gang, and won the girl he loves. It's a real Western knockout!

PLOT

After "Dirty Neck" Jack Purvin sees a newspaper photograph of Eastern socialite Helen Van Smythe, soon to arrive at the nearby dude ranch, he hightails it to San Francisco in order to learn how to become a gentleman. Returning to the ranch, the new but not necessarily improved Jack shreds his dandified image in order to save Helen from a lecherous but decidedly fake count and her mother from a jewel thief.
