There is always plenty of humor in the rough though good-natured horseplay

This film is not the best comedy of the week, but there is always plenty of humor in the rough though good-natured horseplay of the cowboys in it, and it faithfully reproduces a number of entertaining schemes. The way the butt of all their jokes, Fatty, succeeds in getting even is amusing. He dresses as a woman, having previously announced that his sister would arrive on a certain date.

The audience laughed and seemed to enjoy it. - The Moving Picture World, November 4, 1911
