 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Go West is a 1925 feature film starring, directed by, and written by Buster Keaton. Buster plays "Friendless", a drifter who hops a freight train going west because he has nothing better to do. He winds up at a cattle ranch in the desert and is predictably inept at handling cows, but makes good friends with one particular cow called Brown Eyes. After he plucks a stone out of her hoof, Brown Eyes follows him around constantly, at one point saving Friendless from a charging bull. When Brown Eyes is packed off for slaughter, Friendless must spring into action to save her, while getting all of the other cows in the herd to the stockyards.The Marx Brothers starred in another Western spoof titled Go West but it's not a remake.

 The Cameo: Fatty Arbuckle appears as an extra in a department store during the cattle drive through the city. This was probably Keaton doing a favor for his old friend and former co-star, after Arbuckle's career had been destroyed by a bogus manslaughter charge.

 Androcles' Lion: Friendless removes a rock from Brown Eyes's hooves, which was hurting her; in return, she protects him from a bull about to attack him.

 Because You Were Nice to Me: Friendless seems to be the only one who cares about Brown Eyes, and vice versa, which is why they keep looking out for each other.

comment
 Cattle Drive: The rancher has to get his cows to the stockyards, but another rancher who wants to hold out for higher prices is determined to stop him. Friendless, who has hopped on the cattle train solely to save Brown Eyes, helps fight off an attack by the rival rancher's goons, then must get the other cattle from the train station to the stockyards. His trip through the streets of L.A. with a thousand cattle is a long comic set piece that forms the climax of the film.

 Bindle Stick: Friendless collects his meager possessions, which are basically a shaving kit and a picture of his mom, in a bindle.
