Dick Curtis as a singinging cowboy is better then Eddie Dew!

This is a not quite academy award material. Director Ray Nazaro mush of been punished for lensing many Hoosier Hotshot entries. There were 21 of them.

This one has 10 songs within 59' of not so pristine consolidated film.

The talent features Ken Curtis in the lead with Jeff Donnell (Starrett's leading lady), Andy Clyde, Big Boy Williams, the Dinning Sisters, Deuce Spreggins and his Orchestra, and character actor Dick Elliott as the mayor of Crescent City.

Some Republic baddies show up and are uncredited.

Plot has town getting fleeced by the old crooked roulette wheel. It is not the only game is town. That joke is not mentioned. However the town baddie owns several palaces of investment opportunities. An election comes up so the goodie goodie townies try their luck with their candidate.

Caroline Cotton does her lovely yodel pipes proud with the song, I want to be a cowgirl but I am afraid of cows. Moo Moo Moo!

Hoosier hotshots demonstrate their musical ability and humor. The Dinning Sisters are as lovely as their singing. Ken is great also. He does a duet with Jeff Donnell. Hubba Hubba.

Would love to have a better copy of Over the Santa Fe Trail. That clocks in at 63 minutes and has 11 songs. That case has Ken, Jennifer Holt, Guy Kibbee, Big boy, Town Criers, and Carolina Cotton. Mike L.
