Plot summary

Cleo Borden grew up in a saloon, loves the men—and the men love her—but her aspirations lead her to enter into a contract to marry a wealthy man.

She has no desire to change herself, but the man she sets her sights on does—so she obliges.

Sassy Mae as Cattle Rancher

This was my first time seeing a Mae West picture. I've always heard her name. Man, she can fling the sass! Mae marries a rancher who dies just before their wedding day, yet she still is gifted his large cattle ranch with acers of land and various animals in additional to oil wells. Thus, she becomes very wealthy and the talk of the town. Although, she does most of the talking. Being a sassy woman, she makes an amusing effort to be more lady-like as she sets her eyes on an English gentleman operating in her new high-class sphere. This is some genuinely funny '30s fun. Mae has oodles of good dialog zingers mixed with amusing physical comedy.

Mae West's quest for society takes her South, North and East

"Goin' to Town" is a very good comedy and sort of Western that stars Mae West. It's also labeled as a musical, and Mae's Cleo Borden sings a couple of tunes and then some. The plot unfolds in three separate locales. The opening scenes have Cleo in a Western setting where she is a popular saloon singer. After she promises to marry a rancher who does some rustling on the side, he gets killed on her wedding day, but she inherits his land which has just been dotted with oil wells.Cleo takes a fancy to the chief engineer of the oil project, Edward Carrington (played by Paul Cavanagh). But he doesn't seem to take a hankering to her. So, when he heads off for a social outing at the races in Argentina, Cleo enters her own high-spirited horse in the races in Bueno Aires. After the glamorous setting there, she heads for the high class New England area - still pursuing Carrington and trying to break into high society where she has been snubbed by a couple of flighty wealthy matrons.The story has some extravagant and very funny developments there. The movie has some shenanigans with others trying to foil Cleo's quest for social standing. There's some more rough stuff and she tries some very unusual ways to establish herself. She's on the up and up but some of the high society patrons are not. They will "get theirs" in the end, and the film has a nice surprise ending for all - Cleo and the audience. This is a somewhat crazy and frenzied story with a sizable cast and light comedy. But it's Mae West at her best - whether singing in a saloon, a high class casino, or an opera in her own mansion.
