Full Plot Details

During 1798, Bushrod Gentry (Robert Taylor) is a Kentucky trapper who travels from place to place, sometimes staying with settler families for a night or two before moving on. Being a handsome man he often breaks the hearts of the unmarried young daughters of his hosts and it always leads to proposals of marriage from the girls' part. This causes Bushrod to quickly pack his gear, give the smitten girl his standard speech about why he cannot marry or settle down and depart in a hurry, leaving the girl in tears. But one day, after being saved from an Indian attack by young Scottish woman, Mary Stuart Cherne (Eleanor Parker), he takes shelter with her family until his injured arm can heal. Invariably, the girl falls for his charm and asks him to marry her. Bushrod gives her his standard speech and thinks he's off the hook but stubborn Mary Stuart is not so easily dissuaded. This leads to lies, insinuations, evasive actions, hilarity, fist fights with her brothers, a shooting contest, broken promises and a shotgun wedding. Bushrod is determined to leave and he has a few tricks up his sleeve.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzA rube Western comedy romance with no kick, that's set in the late 18th-century frontier of Kentucky.
User Review - 6/10 by Ashley H'The higher up the berry tree, the sweeter grow the berries, the more you hug and kiss a girl, the more they want to marry... Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall Till I find the gal I want, a' gonna have none at all'... Very Witty Frontier Comedy--Played absolutely over the top, to the hilt, right down to the final scene. Eleanor Parker has never been better and this early battle of the sexes, makes the on screen chemistry between she and the reluctant Robert Taylor, so much more fun... Gumptious Little Feist!!
User Review - 6/10 by Adam Da western that shares its title with a gospel song
User Review - 6/10 by Zoran SSprightly western with a comic twist. Taylor is on the wooden side as usual but Eleanor Parker is full of vigor and you get the Skipper and the Professor in the same movie to boot!
User Review - 4/10 by Russell GWestern comedy that felt too stage bound for my liking. Robert Taylor does nothing for me, and the only real entertainment I got was seeing the Skipper and The Professor from Gilligan Island in the same movie.
User Review - 2/10 by Ben SCould be the worst Western I've ever seen.
