The Dude Goes West is a 1948 American comedy western film starring Eddie Albert and Gale Storm.

[1] Gunsmith and marksman Daniel Bone closes his Brooklyn, New York business and travels west, where he feels that he belongs.

The thief is a notorious outlaw called the Pecos Kid who vows revenge against "the dude" who interfered with his holdup.

Dan's knowledge of their language and some minor "magic" impresses the tribe's chief and he treats them as his guests.

After arriving in Arsenic City, the two encounter another outlaw, Texas Jack Barton, and a corrupt saloonkeeper, Kiki Kelly, who are both interested in the mine.
