The Plot…

The boys are singing waiters in a saloon run by a crook in the wild west.  In order to get out of debt and married, the boys decide to try prospecting.  Surprisingly they decide to dig in the exact same spot their boss hid bank robbery loot!  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Filming on this one began with no specific title in mind.  When Curly adlibbed, “Yes, we have no bonanza” (a wordplay on  the song, “Yes, We Have No Bananas”) the title was born!

Yes, We Have No Bonanza earns 3 of 5 stars.
