In a wild west community populated entirely by residents with dwarfism, the Larson and Preston familes have been in a generations-long feud, recently strained by the actions of cattle rustler and overall devious criminal Bat Haines.

Film works for me. Enjoyed it, just wished they had built a set in the right size proportions. Seeing the cast in a 'regular' size town and using horse size hitching posts was a laugh in itself. Should be considered a 'minor' classic.
★★★★ · Watch out for them swingin' doors! · picfixer · 2010-06-24
Exploitation '30s style. Little people with thick German accents, dressed as cowboys and riding Shetland Ponies. Otherwise it's a more or less typical B-western of the period. By no means a great film, but it definitely is a must see, which is the reason for my four-star rating. CAST NOTE: Most of the cast were members of a traveling entertainment troop billed as Jed Buell's Midgets.
