"Boston proper meets the Wild West as Roddy McDowall, Suzanne Pleshette and Karl Malden star in this fish-out-of-water comedy. To restore his family's lost wealth, a young Boston lad named Jack stows away on a ship bound for the California Gold Rush. When the family's very proper butler gives chase and reunites with Jack in San Francisco, all roads lead to nonstop adventure, wild and woolly characters and a lucky punch that leads to a bonanza of belly laughs."
