Saddle Pals

The ranchers get yet another notice of rent increase for the land, and think they'll have to pack it in. Gene Autry goes to Sterling Holloway, the head of the corporation, but he's busy having a nervous breakdown. He makes out and signs a document leaving all his assets to Gene's control. Unfortunately, that includes his spendthrift sisters, Lynne Roberts and Jean Van. Meanwhile, Damian O'Flynn and associates have been cooking the books to gain control of the business. Gene has a month to raise $50,000 to maintain control.

There's a lot more comedy than usual in this Autry musical oater, thanks to Holloway's dithering and Irving Bacon as a lawyer who'd rather fish than attend to business. Gene sings a nice version of "Amapola", and if the stunt work is not as interestingly performed as in others of the series, it all ends, as expected, with smiles and Miss Roberts falling for Autry.
