Wild and Woolly stars young Jane Withers as a hoydenish resident of a
modern frontier town. Revelling in the town's 50th anniversary
celebration, Jane is brought down to earth by the long-standing feud
between her ex-desperado grandfather (Walter Brennan) and a pompous
politician (Berton Churchill). The two oldsters challenge one another to a
shootout, but at the last moment grandpa Brennan decides not to show
up. Branded a coward, Brennan redeems himself by foiling a bank
robbery scheme which has been overheard by Jane. If for nothing else,
Wild and Woolly is memorable for teaming Jane Withers with Our Gang
stalwart Carl Switzer.
