The Wistful Widow Of Wagon Gap
 

Duke Egan and Chester Wooley are salesmen who look to expand their business in the wild west. They try their luck in the rough town of Wagon Gap. There they are mistaken as the murderers of Mr. Hawkins. According to the law of that state, the boys are responsible for the widow of the deceased. Chester ends up living a life of slavery to take care of the widow and her many kids while Duke takes it easy because of his bad back. The good people of Wagon Gap make Chester the sheriff because the corrupt men of the town fear inheriting the responsibility of the widow. They rescue a gold shipment, expose the criminals, and help clean up the town of Wagon Gap.
