Gene Autry's signature film has something for almost everyone, even those who are still on the fence regarding the hayseed crooner himself. There is Republic Pictures' juvenile songbird Mary Lee performing a jazzy number in the schoolhouse; Ann Miller tap-dancing her way through a Frontier Day celebration; Jimmy Durante offering his patented repartee; Veda Ann Borg as a wisecracking receptionist; and Joe Sawyer and Horace MacMahon performing a wonderful parody of "Back in the Saddle Again." And then there is radio comedienne Barbara Jo Allen (aka Vera Vague), who pretty much steals the show. "You remind me of an old painting, an old Boticelli" George "Gabby Hayes mumbles in an attempt at flattery. Schoolmarm Allen responds, "Oh, for a minute there I thought you said 'an old pot of chili.'" And so it goes, from one joke or song to another and with plenty of scenery and a few fist fights thrown in for good measure. In fact, at one point the proceedings become downright surrealistic. A wizened little old lady says to George "Gabby" Hayes, "Hey mister, will I get an electric shock if I sit on them streetcar rails?" Hayes says, "Not unless you put your other foot on them wires up there, Ma'am!"
