Censorship West is Best was initially rejected in its entirety by the Kansas Board of Review, but upon appeal, the film passed with several eliminations. The board required the shortening of the hold-up, leaving only enough to establish continuity. The struggle with the girl in the cabin was cut down to just her entering the cabin and then her being rescued, all scenes in between were removed.
