6 out of 10

This one should be billed as a Western/Comedy, because there's that much attempt at humor in an old west setting. It involves an undercover Buck and Skeeter looking into the overnight disappearances of entire railcarsful of cattle. While getting to the bottom of this dilemma, they run afoul of the law a couple of times, have some girl fun, and try to perfect telling tall tales. Some purposely laughable dialogue, even if certain situations are a bit contrived. As far as being entertaining goes, I rate this as slightly above-average.
