    Gabby declares "Think of the ballyhoo" with Autry and Ole Frog

    In all starts when America's sheriff, Jack Rockwell playing a ranch hand tips off Autry Sr. Of a coming raid from the nesters. Edward Hearn stirs up the pot with "The only thing left for us to do is fight, dog eat dog." The action and entertainment heats up when Autry joins Dr. Parker's (Gabby Hayes) "Phamous" elixir selling sideshow. Smiley Burnette takes it up a notch with his wit and wisdom and Eightball (Eugene Jackson) does some amazing dance scenes. The western's number one leading lady, Lucille Browne shows why she was a fan favorite. Great to see the best henchmen in the business George Chesebro and Charles King.
