Goldie (Marie Windsor), a madam, is a formidable woman, and Latigo Smith (James Garner) knows perfectly well that his disreputable ways will be trimmed considerably should she succeed in marrying him. Instead, he escapes from her and winds up in the town of Purgatory. The town's inhabitants have been expecting the arrival of Swifty Morgan (Chuck Connors), the famous gunfighter. All things being equal, Latigo is happy to be mistaken for Morgan's sidekick, while Jug May (Jack Elam) impersonates Morgan himself. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
This genial Western comedy is a disappointing successor, not a sequel, to Support Your Local Sheriff.

Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
Still makes me laugh. It's Garner's Maverick transplanted.
