Summary:

Beans, Porky Pig, and the gang head out west. Ham and Ex cause mischief by crying wolf about the arrival of Indians. When the real Indians show up, no one believes them until they see them for themselves.

That’s Not All, Folks:

This marks the final appearances of Beans, Ham and Ex, and Little Kitty.

What I Like About This One:

Ham and Ex mistaking a turkey for an Indian (they only see his tail feathers).

Beans’ reaction when he sees that what he shot was the turkey.

Someone shooting from under cattle bones.

Porky’s comments while peeling potatoes (“Just those kids trying to fool you again” and “Those kids must think we’re pretty dumb”).

Porky struggling to shout “Indians!” until one of them shoots him in the behind with an arrow.

Beans opening up the stove to send one Indian’s arrows back at him.

One of the Indian’s arrows causing Porky’s pants to fall down. Porky doesn’t do anything until another arrow puts them back in place.

Beans getting a great final scene to end his career: he swings a bear trap at an Indian in order to save Ham and Ex’s lives and then sneaks up on them and gives them a dose of their own medicine by imitating an Indian call.
