A lighthearted, energetic comedy set in the early days of Hollywood, celebrating the charm and chaos of silent film-making through the intertwined ambitions and romantic entanglements of two unlikely heroes.

In the silent film era, attorney Leo Harrigan and gunslinger Buck Greenway are hired to stop an illegal film production. However, they soon team up with the filmmakers and become important players in the show business industry. Leo learns he has a talent for directing, and Buck's cowboy persona quickly earns him leading-man status — but both men fall for beautiful starlet Kathleen Cooke, leading to a heated personal rivalry.
