McCann and Robert Staats, a truly strange and funny character actor, co-starred as a couple of sleazy filmmakers (E. Eddie Eastman and Enrico Kodak) who decide to cover their losses by luring an aging cowboy star named Duke Montana (played by Buster Crabbe in the penultimate movie of his career), taking out an insurance policy on his life, and bumping him off. All their attempts to do him in blow up in their faces, as in this scene, which makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it.
