Plot
During the gold rush of 1849, two vaudevillians, Jerry Miles and Mike Strager, travel to find gold in a town called Red Creek which lacks women. The men of Red Creek promise them gold in return for their bringing women to the town. As Jerry's and Mike's vaudeville troupe, which includes women, nears Red Creek, they learn the town may not be welcoming. The men in the troupe dress like women to test the town's attitude. Upon discovering the ruse, a fight breaks out; however, the vaudevillians are finally accepted and perform. During the performance, news comes that a huge gold deposit has been located near town, and everyone rushes out, leaving Jerry and Mike alone on stage.
