Lou, a traveling salesman, accidentally kills a man, and according to the law of the west he has to take care of the dead man's widow and children--all seven of them. Because the family is so unsavory, Lou knows that no other man will kill him, so he allows himself to be appointed sheriff and clears the town of lowlifes. Usual Abbott & Costello fare is highlighted with their zany antics. (movieretriever.com)

It's no 'Wild and Woolly' but it's a hell of a lot funnier than 'Blazing Saddles'.

Then it's Abbott & Costello's turn to take a wild west trip. They end up being accused of killing a person and as punishment they have to take care of the dead man's wife, which is a faith worse than hanging as the wife is Marjorie Main. Not peak Abbott & Costello, but still a delightful poking at western cliches. Main plays-off the duo in a excellent way. It's a natural collaboration. Lacks a epic comic moment, but got enough of their usual funny shtick to feel satisfied.
