The Complete Hal Roach Streamliners Collection, Volume 2: The Westerns

The three Roach "Streamliner" sagebrush comedies starring Noah Beery, Jr. as amiable cowpuncher Pidge Crosby and Jimmy Rogers (Will’s son) as slow-on-the-uptake sidekick Jimmy are collected here. With their latest wrangling gig hanging by a thread, Jimmy's got to get Pidge to concentrate on the job...instead of the cute guest (Marjorie Woodworth) at the neighboring dude ranch! "Dudes Are Pretty People" (1942) also stars Oscar O'Shea, Russell Gleason, Grady Sutton. When it turns out that the filly (Mary Brian) who caught his eye believes in prison reform--and likes to prove it at the jail run by her sheriff uncle (William B. Davidson)--Pidge connives to get thrown in the "Calaboose" (1943). Marc Lawrence, Jean Porter co-star. Pidge didn't mind getting mistaken for the absentee owner (Jack Norton) of a huge ranch and getting the royal treatment. That might change after the embezzling foreman (Joe Sawyer) tries to stage a haunting to scare him off! "Prairie Chickens" (1943) co-stars Raymond Hatton Rosemary La Planche, Noel Neill. 138 min. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
