"See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have."

With the help of Frenchy (Marlene Dietrich), a dance hall girl from New Orleans, local ranchers in the town of Bottleneck are being swindled out of their land by the unscrupulous saloon owner Kent (Brian Donlevy). Sheriff Keogh (Joe King) attempts to correct this and suddenly leaves town without his body. Judge Slade (Samuel S. Hinds), who is conspiring with Kent, assigned the job of sheriff to the town drunk. Newly assigned Sheriff Washington Dimsdale (Charles Winninger) remembers a previous sheriff named Tom Destry and sends off for the son of Destry, Thomas Jefferson 'Tom' Destry Jr. (James Stewart). On the day of Vestry's arrival with all the crowds are waiting in anticipation. Destry steps out of the coach with a parasol and a birdcage. Sheriff Dimsdale thinks he may have made a mistake. Only time will tell. I think there is more to this film than the surface story and subplots. It has a good aftertaste.
