* DidNotGetTheGirl: Throughout his career Keaton de-emphasized romance in his comedies and often viewed romance with a cynical eye, and this film might be the most extreme example.

''Go West'' is a 1925 feature film starring, directed by, and written by Creator/BusterKeaton. Buster plays "Friendless", a drifter who hops a freight train going west because he has nothing better to do. He winds up at a cattle ranch in the desert and is predictably inept at handling cows, but makes good friends with one particular cow called Brown Eyes. After he plucks a stone out of her hoof, Brown Eyes follows him around constantly, at one point saving Friendless from a charging bull. When Brown Eyes is packed off for slaughter, Friendless must spring into action to save her, while getting all of the other cows in the herd to the stockyards.

* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Brown Eyes follows Friendless around everywhere.
* MyGirlIsNotASlut: When Friendless sees one of the bulls getting too interested in Brown Eyes, he gets a set of antlers that are hanging off the wall and ties them on her head to make her look like a bull too.
* {{Satan}}: Friendless needs to find a way to lure the cattle through the streets of Los Angeles to the stockyards. Specifically, he needs to find something red. So he dresses up as the Devil.
