Carol Maldon (Polly Bergen) had to go take care of her horse after her father's death. Rick Grayton (Howard Keel) is the trainer. He keeps trying to make the horse lose so that he could buy it on the cheap.

I see where the comedy is coming from. I don't really find it funny. It's a reorganized Major League. I don't think it works. I'm not feeling the romance. I'm not feeling the chemistry. The other side could be better. This is not bad, but I'm not feeling it.

King Cameron (Howard Keel) takes his wife Cordelia Cameron (Ava Gardner) to their ranch home in Texas. They find it burned down and their cattle slaughtered. It is apparently Mexican bandit José Esqueda (Anthony Quinn) who hates Americans. He and his gang show up in town. He needs his tooth pulled by the local dentist. He grew up with his right-hand man Rio (Robert Taylor).

Anthony Quinn outshines everybody. I really wish that he has another guy to play with, but the other guys are not up to his level. Robert Taylor has a few moments, but he can't match Quinn. Well, this has Ava Gardner and that's something.

The military has created their own AI robot, Amelia, from the M3GAN plans, but it goes rogue. Since the first movie, Gemma (Allison Williams) is advocating a more ethical use of technology. In order to take down Amelia, Gemma is recruited to revive M3GAN.

The sequel plot is messier and less compelling. Most of all, it is less fun. I don't really like the T2 thing although it has the potential for future developments. I would prefer M3GAN to go her own way. That may come in the future. I fear that this franchise is going to spiral downwards from this point on.
