Plots(1)
The West is a mighty perilous place. A man needs a good horse, a trusty shootin'-iron and steady nerve. And one more thing, according to aging cowpoke Will Lane (Buddy Ebsen): a bride. Director Burt Kennedy lassos plenty of laughs as well as action in Mail Order Bride, much as he'd do later in the memorable comic westerns Support Your Local Sheriff and Support Your Local Gunfighter. The story follows Lane as he plays dad to his dead friend's rowdy son Lee (Keir Dullea). Via a mail-order catalogue, he finds the young man a widow (Lois Nettleton) with a little boy. Lee prefers raising hell to raising a family. But a whirlwind of Wild West action may force Lee to grow up - and appreciate the gentle heart of his new bride. (official distributor synopsis)
