After gangster Ace (Ace Cain) learns that Pop Wiley (William Farnum) has discovered the fabled Lost Dutchman mine, he shoots him dead, wanting the mine for himself ... but after he has searched Pop's whole place & failed to come up with any map to the mine, he realizes it would have been wiser to ask the old man for the map first ... the map to the mine is actually painted onto the inside of the shirt of Pop's young granddaughter Sally (Marjorie Medford), whom Pop has sent away to the neighbouring ranch, but who has run into the Irish gringo (Pat Carlyle) & his sidekicks Pancho (Don Orlando) & Buffalo (Milburn Morante), who take the girl to the next town, & to the local saloon.

There, saloon singer Carlotta (Elena Durán) is madly in love with the gringo ... but the gringo has lost his heart to ranch owner Anita (Karlyn May), who in turn is in love with her foreman Jimmy (Rudolf Cornell), but is courted by Malone (Bryant Washburn), owner of the saloon Carlotta works at & incidently also in secret goss of a gang that Ace is part of & that desperately tries to find the Lost Dutchman Mine.

Incidently, Carlotta learns that Malone is looking for the mine, & that the Gringo knows the mine's whereabout. Then she learns that the Gringo plans a wedding, & that Anita is going to be part of it ... what she doesn't hear though is that the Gringo plans to marry Anita to Jimmy, & thus thinks that the Gringo will be the groom. So she sells the Gringo to Malone, who plans to strike with his gang during the wedding. Only then does she learn the truth about the wedding & in tears confesses everything to the Gringo ... who goes ahead with the wedding nevertheless, & during it, rather casually, arrests Malone & his whole gang.

 

Often called the Plan 9 ... of B-Westerns, which is saying a bit much, as Irish Gringo does not reach that movie's otherworldliness ... but it has its moments: some almost outrageous overacting, inane dialogue, silly & unbelievable plottwists, visible cheapness, inapproppriate incidental music, & a badly faked Mexican accent by Pat Carlyle (though in all fairness, Walter Miller's fake accent in Lone Defender is a lot funnier). You might love or love to hate this film.
