"A
hilarious romp through the bars and bedrooms of the Wild West with the Carry
On gang! Sid James is on top form as the Rumpo Kid, an outlaw who shakes up
the sleepy residents of Stodge City. Kenneth Williams is the puritanical
judge, and Jim Dale plays Marshall P Knutt, a hapless plumber mistakenly
sent to clean up the town. This is classic Carry On with a cast of Carry On
favourites, including Charles Hawtrey as fire-water guzzling Chief Big Heap,
Joan Sims and Bernard Bresslaw." |

The Story
Stodge City is being
terrorised by outlaw The Rumpo Kid and his gang. The town's judge calls for
a sheriff and, due to a case of mistaken identity, ends up with a sanitary
engineer. With the help of Annie Oakley, Marshall Knutt takes on The Rumpo
Kid...

Comments
Another great film, although not
quite up to the standards set by the likes of Cleo or Convenience. The cast
struggle bravely with an assortment of dodgy American accents, while
indulging in all manner of gunplay and general sauciness. The film also
marks Bernard Bresslaw's first appearance in the series. An ambitious film
and one which is all the better for the fact that the producers really
stretched themselves to make it.
