Wide Open Spaces is a 1924 Western silent film starring Stan Laurel.

Stan Laurel as a harness racing jockey who must win a big race.

A young cowboy takes a job at a ranch owned by two aging spinsters, unaware that both are completely in love with him.

Stan does his best to recover a post-card, which he has forgotten to stamp. He attempts the recovery after hearing a remark by a postal inspector that the absence of the stamp makes the card a criminal offense for the sender. In the course of his struggles he swims through "oceans" of mail, rides up and down chutes, gets tied up in a mail bag and finally finds himself locked in a delivery truck with two thieves.

As a way to make peace between two feuding Scottish clans, one invites the other over for supper, but things don't turn out quite as expected.
