It's 1802 in the backwoods of America. Dr. Alexander Meade (Richard Conte) is set to be hanged for grave robbing. He's been stealing bodies to study for medical science. He is rescued by Big Jack Horner (Wallace Beery), Flapjack Kate (Marjorie Main) and their band of outlaws. Big Jack forces him to join the group.
This is Wallace Beery's last film. He would soon die after its release. He is still the biggest personality on the screen in this one. He is in his full power. It is what it is. This is playing up the comedy whether it's there or not. Most of the time, it's not really there. It's end of a long career.
