Product Description:

THE CHEYENNE SOCIAL CLUB: Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda play perfectly off each other in this witty Western comedy. Stewart is John O'Hanlan, a career cowboy who rides to Cheyenne when he learns that his brother has bequeathed him his business there. Fonda is his faithful sidekick, Harley Sullivan, who can't give O'Hanlan a straight answer as to why he has ridden at O'Hanlan's side for the last 10 years. When they finally arrive in Cheyenne, it is only to discover--to O'Hanlan's horror and Sullivan's delight--that the business O'Hanlan has inherited is the popular local cathouse. When O'Hanlan decides to shut the house down, the instant popularity he had enjoyed in Cheyenne turns into a townwide cold shoulder. The cowboy is still determined to become a "man of property," though, and turn the place into a boarding house--until his lawyer's revelations and a town bully's actions change his mind. The low-key O'Hanlan gears up for battle and must decide which way his life will blow in the winds of fortune. Shirley Jones heads up the gaggle of lovely working girls O'Hanlan inherits. The film owes much of its appeal to the clever, engaging banter between the dry, ingenuous Stewart and Fonda's charming rake of a cowpoke.

FIRECREEK: In this dark, meandering Western, a villainous gang of outlaws, led by vicious gunfighter Fonda, has left the residents of Firecreek living in fear. Although rancher Stewart considers himself a man of peace, he agrees to become the town's sheriff and put an end to the bad guys' campaign of terror once and for all....

Description by Warner Home Video:

Cheyenne Social Club, The /Fire Creek
They can be tough as leather. Or as down-home as any pair of good ol' boys. Either way, there's a sense of warm respect between the two stars. The off-camera friendship of James Stewart and Henry Fonda goes back to their days as struggling actors and roommates. The Cheyenne Social Club [Side A] casts them as saddle-weary Texans who, surprised to find they've inherited a Wyoming bawdy house, feel honor-bound to defend it against a gun-wielding gang. Gene Kelly produces and directs this mix of fun and Western action. Next comes a firestorm of character-driven excitement in Firecreek [Side B]. Fonda plays an outlaw preying on small towns, and Stewart is the jittery, $2-a-month part-time lawman who must find the courage to stop him. This will be some showdown!
