Goofs and Saddles

Set in the American Old West, the three Stooges are assigned as scouts to apprehend a notorious cattle-rustling gang led by Longhorn Pete. They study the rustlers' movements and plan a stealthy approach to disrupt their operation. The stakes are high, as capture could bring order to the frontier and prove their resourcefulness.

The Stooges conceal themselves among the terrain, effectively camouflaging as bushes to observe the rustlers' activities. They track patrols and routines, hoping to identify a window to strike or relay intelligence. The plan hinges on staying unseen while gathering crucial details.

The rustlers quickly spot the disguises and react, opening fire to drive off the intruders. The Stooges are forced to retreat under heavy gunfire and re-evaluate their position. The firefight marks the first major obstacle in their mission.

Seeking safety and a chance to regroup, the Stooges slip into Longhorn Pete's bustling saloon. They don gambler disguises to blend with the crowd while waiting for cavalry to arrive. The saloon becomes a temporary fortress as they reassess their plan.

Moe attempts to alert General Muster by sending a message via carrier pigeon, hoping to bring reinforcements. Pete's interference compromises their covert status, placing the trio at greater risk. The delay forces them to consider a quick exit once more.

With their cover blown, the Stooges flee by seizing a covered wagon. The journey becomes chaotic as they cart along household items and a surprising simian companion. Their improvised transport underscores the slapstick, improvisational tone of their mission.

A relentless pursuit unfolds as the wagon barrels along the landscape. The trio must dodge obstacles and maintain control, using their wits to stay ahead of the bandits who crave the loot. The chase tests their coordination and daring.

The Stooges repurpose a meat grinder into a weapon, installing ammunition and a belt to fashion a makeshift Gatling gun. The bizarre contraption becomes the key to turning the tide against the pursuing outlaws. It combines their ingenuity with a dose of absurd frontier humor.

With the improvised weapon blazing, the Stooges overpower the gang members and push them back. General Muster and his troops arrive just in time to seal the capture and restore order to the area. The cavalry presence stabilizes the chaotic chase.

General Muster leads the arrest of Longhorn Pete and his gang, bringing the rustlers to justice. The Stooges are celebrated for their resilience and ingenuity despite the comical chaos. The victory serves as a feel-good finale to the mission.

In a twist of misadventure, the monkey accidentally activates the grinder, causing a flurry of shots to erupt. The Stooges realize the danger and hastily retreat from the scene. The ridiculous turn of events underscores the unpredictability of frontier life.

Despite the chaotic mishap, the Stooges escape the immediate danger and retreat to safety. The sequence highlights their improvisational skills and stubborn persistence under pressure. The mission ends with their continued promise of readiness for the next assignment.
