What happens

Calaboose is a 1943 American Western film directed by Hal Roach Jr. It stars Jimmy Rogers, Mary Brian and Noah Beery Jr. It is a sequel to Dudes are Pretty People (1942), a featurette from "Hal Roach's Streamliners" which is a series of approximately 50-minute comedic movies. The film runs 45 minutes. Another sequel followed later the same year, with Rogers and Beery playing the same characters, entitled Prairie Chickens. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
