A young pacifist after refusing on principle to defend her sweetheart's honor and being banished in disgrace, joins a riverboat troupe as a singer, acquires a reputation as a crackshot after a saloon brawl in which the villain of the piece accidentally kills himself with his own gun, falls in love with his former fianceé's sister and finally bullies an apprehensive family into accepting him.
I sold this film to myself as simply a musical with W.C. Fields and Joan Bennett in it, and it worked for me in that regard. Worth a watch if you're intrigued by bizarrely-plotted musical comedies from the 30's.
