Way Out West is a 1930 American pre-Code parody film, directed by Fred Niblo, starring William Haines, Leila Hyams, Polly Moran, and Ralph Bushman.
When they discover his cheating and learn that he has been robbed, they force him to work on a ranch until he has paid his debt.
He falls in love with ranch owner Molly, and when he saves her life after she is bitten by a rattlesnake, he wins her heart.
[3] The New York Times deemed Way Out West "an impertinent, moderately comic affair tinctured with slapstick and romance".
[4] Haines biographer William J. Mann cites latent homoeroticism and inside gay humor throughout the film.
