Jiggs and Maggie Out West

1950

2/5

It's a western! (if you couldn't tell by the title)

So Maggie's late grandfather, who she can hear speak to her from beyond the grave, has bequeathed to her an estate in some old Western town which apparently includes a secret gold mine. The Grizzly Carters, who have some kind of Hatfield-McCoy feud with Maggie's family, have been trying to find the secret gold mine forever, and they antagonize Maggie and family when they arrive to search for it. The regulars at Dinty Moore's bar also show up and set up shop in the saloon, and there's a wrestling match for some reason. The Carters finally capture Maggie and Jiggs and take them to the Big Boss, who turns out to be... George McManus, the cartoonist behind Bringing Up Father!

Yeah, it's not great. It tries to basically take what was great about the Jiggs and Maggie movies and simply put it in an old west setting, and it doesn't end up working out.
