The movie contains Laurel and Hardy's charming soft-shoe shuffle dance routine sequence as The Avalon Boys Quartet croon “At the Ball,That’s All.” Inside the saloon, Laurel and Hardy sing “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.” A funny sequence has Laurel all of a sudden performing his part in a deep bass singing voice. Rosina Lawrence, the teacher in several Our Gang/Little Rascals films, portrays Mary Roberts, the real heiress. Saloon owner Mickey Finn, played by frequent Laurel and Hardy foil James Finlayson (known for inspiring Homer Simpson’s “Doh!” exclamation) and his singer wife Lola Marcel (Sharon Lynn), conspire to get the deed. Laurel and Hardy travel to the city to deliver the deed for a goldmine inherited by a woman following the passing of her prospector father.
