Normally, an Alice cartoon from Walt Disney would consist of Alice (usually Virginia Davis) interacting in a cartoon world. However, this film finds Alice mostly in the real world--with only a few animated sequences. The overall effect is much more like an Our Gang comedy from Hal Roach than an Alice comedy--but the film is still quite watchable.
The film begins with Alice and her friends putting on a Wild West show--much like a show the Our Gang kids would do. However, the she is interrupted by some tough kids and all the kids in the show (except Alice) run away in fear. To try to salvage the show, Alice regales the audience with tales of her insane adventures in the West. These adventures of all animated and are pretty silly. One, oddly, is amazingly bloody--with Sheriff Alice accidentally shooting a huge number of innocent bystanders! She also smokes--making it an unusual picture considering modern sensibilities. Still, it is rather charming and fun.
