This one took a different twist at the end, even though the movie as a whole had very familiar Three Stooges gags in it. (By 1951, our boys were nearing the end, as we knew them with Curly or Shemp.) It was a like a two-parter; the first part dealing the Stooges being cowboys and the second part being a horror-type movie.
Out west, we have the same saloon jokes and scenes and the handsome-but- inept townie who thinks he's the Lone Ranger but is all wannabe. (Jock Mahoney reprises the role he did in an earlier Stooges film in which he was "The Arizona Kid.")
Then, with five minutes to go, we get the always-familiar (but always fun) guys- dressed up-in-scary costumes-chasing-the Stooges- around-several rooms angle. For me, it's the latter that I enjoyed best. For some reason, I never get tired of seeing the guys get spooked by spooks and all the slapstick that goes with it.
Early in the story, we see The Stooges as vagrants. There is actually a "wanted poster" on them: 50 cents each or three-for-a-dollar! They escape out west to a town called Peaceful Gulch and are mistaken for lawman. (Don't ask.)
