Story
Monogram's Bringing Up Father series, based on the popular comic strip by George McManus, hit a high point of sorts with 1950's Jiggs and Maggie Out West. Joe Yule Sr. (Mickey Rooney's father) and Rene Riano are perfectly cast as nouveau riche Jiggs and Maggie, who head thataway when Maggie inherits a goldmine. As usual, Maggie spends her time trying to climb the frontier social ladder, while down-to-earth Jiggs is more interested in finding a plate of corned beef and cabbage.
Screenplay
Maggie is resentful of being pointed out and laughed at in public because she resembles the cartoon character in the George McManus comic strip "Bringing Up Father." She visits McManus in his studio office and tries to persuade him to stop drawing the syndicated comic-strip. He tells her he will...in 1959. Maggie, not getting any younger, retains counsel and takes McManus to court.
Screenplay
Maggi continues her forever-ever efforts to crash Manhattan's top society, while Jiggs still mingles with his old construction cronies at the bar of Dinty Moore on 10th Avenue.

Director
Divertida comedia, de la que W. C. Fields tuvo el control casi absoluto. Aparte de ser el protagonista, el actor firmó el guión con el curioso seudónimo de Mahatma Kane Jeeves. En realidad la trama es completamente disparatada, casi mera excusa para acumular gags sobre el personaje de Egbert Sousé, una especie de 'alter ego' de Fields, o al menos de la imagen que tenía de él el gran público. El actor da vida a un borrachín, que por casualidad detiene a un atracador de bancos. A partir de ahí nace una fulgurante carrera de detective, prácticamente a su pesar, pues él incluso intenta participar en una estafa. (FILMAFFINITY)

Las propiedades de dos familias están separadas por una endeble valla. A través de un agujerito de la misma, Buster Keaton, vástago de una familia, y una agraciada joven, hija de la otra familia, intercambian mensajes de amor. Esto va a dar pie a varios equívocos sobre quién ama a quién. Es sólo el comienzo de un montón de líos en que se mete Keaton, siempre con su cara impasible, y que además de tiznarle la cara, movilizan a todo un pelotón de policías hasta que las dos familias deben comparecer ante el juez.
