Mona Ray isn't the leading lady of this film.
At least she isn't supposed to be. However, she gets most of the screen time. She might have been considered cute then, but I don't think she was really.
You look at the title "Pardon My Gun" and you think it's a Western, but it really isn't.
The band dressed in cowboy clothes wasn't a cowboy band. I read somewhere that it was a regular band that competed with the Paul Whiteman band for supremacy.
Mona shows up fairly early in the film and dominates action from then on. She even sings a song that I guess is supposed to be a vamp song. I don't feel vamped.
A fair amount of this movie is a show at a dance in the barn. The dance, incidentally, is in honor of Mona Ray's character, Peggy.
Another thing about this movie I didn't like was how the cook was treated. He gets picked in just about every scene. He also has a pet frog that has several little frogs in the final scene of the film. That's how it ends.
Tom Keene, the leading man of the film is rescued by Peggy and two boys. That's not really leading man material in my opinion. He was still known as George Duryea then.
A year before this, he was in a Cecile B. DeMille film "The Godless Girl". See that one instead of this one. It's a much better movie!
