Pardners casts Jerry Lewis as a sort of Tom Mixed-up character, a would-be cowpoke who is given to riding a mechanical horse in his Manhattan mansion. This prone ranger suddenly finds himself a sheriff out west, combating a gang of masked raiders. But, with the help of his singing pardner, Dean Martin, he blunders his way to triumph over the baddies.
