Gene Autry gets help from teenage singer
Mary Lee and fetching tap dancer
Carol Adams in this tuneful Republic songfest restored in 2001 by Gene Autry Entertainment. Autry and sidekick Frog Millhouse (
Smiley Burnette can only watch as gangsters
Ralf Harolde and
Anthony Warde rob the local bank. The trail leads to
Ferris Taylor's riverboat where Gene goes undercover as a country & western singer. On the inside, so to speak, our heroic troubadour quickly learns that the father (
Byron Foulger) of girl singer
Mary Lee had a hand in the robbery but how will he be able to recover the loot and punish the guilty without causing the naive little Mary undue trauma? When not chasing modern-day gangsters, Autry,
Mary Lee,
Carol Davis and
Smiley Burnette perform no less than eight lively music numbers including the title song and the Academy Award nominated "Be Honest With Me". ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
