Yes, it's just your typical all-Yiddish shoot-'em-up: a small boy falls out of a covered wagon on its way West and shows up years later as a quick trigger cowboy. When he is unjustly accused of theft, a gunfight breaks out to the strains of "Oyfn Pripitchik." This spoof was made by adding a Yiddish dialogue to the Son of Oklahoma, a 1932 Hollywood Western. A hilarious short for a Yiddish-speaking audience!
