What happens

Out West is a 1918 American two-reel silent comedy film, a satire on contemporary Westerns, starring Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Buster Keaton, and Al St. John. It was the first of Arbuckle's "Comique" films to be filmed on the West Coast, the previous five having been filmed in and around New York City. The idea for the story came from Natalie Talmadge, who was later to become Keaton's first wife. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
