Ruggles of Red Gap

Ruggles of Red Gap

1935

In Paris at the dawn of the 20th century, the Earl of Burnstead (Roland Young) accidentally loses his faithful valet, Ruggles (Charles Laughton), to gauche American rancher Egbert Floud (Charlie Ruggles) in a drunken late-night poker game. Resettled in the Wild West town of Red Gap, Washington, Ruggles' proper bearing leads him to become mistaken for a British aristocrat and military hero, to the potential embarrassment of Egbert's snobbish wife, Effie (Mary Boland).

Here they are right from the pages of Harry Leon Wilson's book! See Red Gap society take to Ruggles, the English valet, and see Ruggles take Red Gap! (Print Ad-Daily Times, ((Rochester, Penna.)) 21 May 1935)
