    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The train in the opening credits and closing scene is Colorado's Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, which was then the Denver and Rio Grande Western. In 1971 the DRGW was still owner and operator of the line, and this track was still part of a class 1 railroad and not a tourist / heritage railroad. Even though DRGW was looking at the time for a buyer or just the permission to the interstate transportation board for abandonment of the rail grade. They would find neither until the mid 1980s.

      In the bar fight, Patience sees Latigo lying face-down on the floor with nobody near him. In the close-up, Latigo's lying face-up with his head on the leg of another unconscious cowboy.

      Jug: You hit that fellow from behind?

      Latigo: Just as hard as I could!

    funny send-up
    Not a sequel,but a companion piece to Support Your Local Sheriff,and a very funny spoof in it's own right.The cast underplayed it beautifully(not like todays hit you over the head variety).A special mention to Jack Elam,who had me in stitches.He was the master of the false bravado.Oldtime western fans will love it.
