Singer Jimmy Wakely starred as a singing cowboy in a fair number of movies for Monogram Pictures in the 1940s. In this entry, in which he is teamed with Dennis Moore and Lee “Lasses” White, Wakely and his pals contend against a crooked town boss (Rex Lease) and his tame marshal while framed. Wakely’s smooth voice makes his songs a strong point in the flick; additional musical support is provided by the Callahan Brothers and Their Blue Ridge Mountain Folks, and Lasses gets a chance to sing, too. A standard plot and familiar faces make this watchable for fans of the genre but undistinguished.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 551 for 2021.
