Saddlesore saga concerning cowflop capers concocted by crew of curvy "con" cowgirls out to clear themselves by crushing a career-killer stalking the president of the United States (this one-trick-pony "Charlie's Angels-on-horseback" clone even corrals actor David Doyle as president!). Cowboy cameos by veteran character actors Doug McClure and Vic Morrow cannot lasso this lengthy lonesome trail loser from a literary lynching! Add actress Jessica Walter and actor Paul Burke to the rioutous roundup and you have "The Love Boat" dry-docked some- where between Denver and Durango! In fact, the bronc-busting "best" performance portrayed in this petticoat ponygirls pablum is by a young Geraldo Rivera-lookalike, who, as "The Colonel" (no lines and no billing in the cast credits) is felled by "Sean" (such a sinister name), "Europe's most deadly assassin"! The foppish, swaggering Sean, strolls down the stairs, cordially greets "The Colonel" (the most consistent character in that he just stands inert, as a silent, passive plot foil). "Wild and Wooly" is weak and wimpy. Rumor has it the director had to get out of Hollywood by sundown! I give this tumbleweed travesty 0 stars, but 4 cow-pies!

It doesn't matter who exposes a conspiracy as long as it comes out in time.

Warning: Spoilers
Women in history are amazing when their stories are told with truth, dignity and enlightenment, and even though most of the actresses involved aren't well known (save Jessica Walter), they do a decent job of unfolding this story of exposing an assassination attempt on President Theodore Roosevelt (David Doyle). He's presented as a complete idiot, overly bombastic and foolish, like Bosley with a mustache and monocle.
Susan Bigelow, Elyssa Davalos and Sherry Bain join Walter in this adventure, with more focus on Bigelow and Bain. They are introduced as four women who would never be friends otherwise as they have different ideals and temperaments, and a few cat fights do break out. It's okay as far as history is concerned but the way its presented often comes off as awkwardly comical and not really funny. Paul Burke and Charles Siebert co-star in this Aaron Spelling production that should have had a stronger script with less foolishness.
