This made for TV film was made and shown shortly after the very successful Lemonade Joe. In fact a number of the same actors comprise the list of supporting actors. It is a comedy western parody silent film. The hero named Noble Cowboy Sandy is much like Charlie Chaplin where he’s constantly clumsy and getting himself into fixes and deeper into trouble.

Shown on Czechoslovakian TV in 1964.
