Hard Boiled

• Watchlist

Tom Bouden, ordered by his millionaire uncle to help a friend and her niece run a health resort out west, insults the niece before meeting her. Irate, the latter goes west without him. Later Tom and his sidekick disguise themselves in order to elude a posse and wind up at the resort, where Tom is mistaken for a fashionable doctor. Realizing that all the guests want to see the "real" West, "just like in the movies," Tom lets them have it--stagecoaches, Indians, and the rest--and soon the hotel is overflowing. A band of thieves tries to rob the hotel safe, but Tom, aided by the bellhop, rounds up the culprits, retrieves the jewels, and proves himself a man to the girl in question.
