The grandmother is torn at home and does not have time to do several things at once. She urgently needs to go to the store, and she put the dough. So that the dough does not run away, the grandmother asks to take care her granddaughter Zhenya. It would seem that nothing complicated, but Zhenya has more important things, such as to take a walk, play with her friends, and therefore she puts the grandmother's request on a dog. The dog also does not want to guard the dough, and therefore he delegates this important task to the cat. The cat is even more lazy to engage in such nonsense, and she has to ask the mouse to look after the household. As a result, the stubborn dough ran away, and now you need to know where to look for it.

Plot Summary

In the dusty Old West, a bumbling but good-hearted sheriff named Hank is determined to bring law and order to his small town. His plans are constantly complicated by the arrival of a spirited saloon singer and a ruthless outlaw gang. Hank must find a way to outsmart the criminals, win the affection of the singer, and prove that even a 'stubborn dough' can rise to the occasion.

Critical Reception

Stubborn Dough was a modest, low-budget Western-comedy that received a mixed reception upon its release. Critics generally found its comedic elements to be somewhat predictable and its plot to be thin, though some praised the energetic performances of its lead actors, particularly Mickey Rooney. Audiences were similarly divided, with some enjoying the lighthearted approach to a Western and others finding it lacking in substance.
