Ride 'Em Cowboy is a 1942 film starring the comedy team of Abbott and Costello, Dick Foran, Anne Gwynne, Johnny Mack Brown, Ella Fitzgerald (in her first film appearance), Samuel S. Hinds, Douglas Dumbrille, Morris Ankrum, and directed by Arthur Lubin.

[2] The film focuses on Abbott and Costello as they play the role of two peanut vendors on the run from their boss.

Although Bob is grateful, she quickly becomes angry due to his city slicker hotshot personality and returns to her father's dude ranch in Arizona.

Custom says that this is a proposal, but Willoughby and Duke soon run in fear when the Indian maiden inside the tent turns out to be plump and unattractive.

Anne concedes and begins to instruct Bob on the ways of cowboy life, while Willoughby and Duke are still menaced by the Indians.

Unfortunately a gambler, Ace Henderson, has made large bets against the ranch and has his gang kidnap Bob and Alabam.

[citation needed] The burlesque routine, "Crazy House", appears in the film where Costello enters a sanitarium for "peace and quiet", only to have his rest disturbed by a succession of bizarre visitors.

Ride 'Em Cowboy was filmed from June 30-August 9, 1941 on location at both the B-Bar A and the Rancho Chihuahua dude ranches.
