There isn't a lot of plot in "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie" and so to make up for this, there is a lot of comedy...far more than you'd expect in a B-western. Whether you like it or not will undoubtedly depend on what you think of Fuzzy Knight's antics in this one. Fortunately, his antics do NOT include his stuttering shtick...something that wears thin very quickly.
When the story begin, three prospectors are upset that, yet again, they've found nothing. Well, when a nearby prospector strikes gold, they decide to jump his claim by killing him. It turns out the dead man is Joe Henderson's brother and Joe (Johnny Mack Brown) is going to get to the bottom of it. He's assisted by his sidekick, Lem (Fuzzy Knight). But when Lem strikes gold something very weird happens. The same three killers find him...but this is after Lem knocks himself out and loses his memory. Now he thinks he's a Civil War colonel and the trio can't get anything useful out of him! Can Joe find Lem and the gang before it's too late?
If you want to see Johnny Mack Brown do much, well keep looking! It's definitely a Fuzzy Knight film from start to finish. Strange, that's for sure...but I didn't mind the weird change of pace.
