Playboy

Game warden Steve Benton (Ken Clark (actor)) sets out to investigate their disappearance. Aided by his girlfriend Nan Grayson (Jan Sheppard) and her father, Doc Grayson, he discovers the cavern.

Description: Out West (1918) A Fatty Arbuckle comedy including performances by Buster Keaton and Al St John. It is a parody of Western pictures of the way.
Out West
is a 1918 short comedy film, a satire on contemporary westerns, starring 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.
Plot
Image:OutWest1918.jpg
The story involves Arbuckle coming to the western town of Mad Dog Gulch (which the intertitles call the toughest town in the movies) after being thrown off a train and chased by Indians. He teams up with gambler/saloon owner Bill Bullhorn (Keaton), in trying to keep the evil Wild Bill Hickup (Al St. John) away from Salvation Army girl, Salvation Sue (Alice Lake). Fatty and Buster have a series of adventures trying to beat St. John, until they discover his one weakness: his ticklishness.

Critical response
Variety (magazine)
gave the film a positive review in its January 25, 1918 issue, saying it hits a better comedy tempo than any of his [Arbuckle's] recent productions. Keaton's comic tumbles were singled out for praise, as was Arbuckle's direction of the film: Good camera work aids the comedy.
