Now you either liked singing in Westerns or you didn't, in my view. Well, with the exception of Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson in "Rio Bravo", I'm in the latter camp so Eddie Dean opening up this cattle rustling, property grabbing tale with the title song and I was already struggling; there were a few more ditties before a reprise of said song at the end - and I was lost! The plot didn't matter - Sarah Padden ("Ma Conway") is an old lady who alternates between rough cattle-rancher and charming old lady, but is certainly not interested in being bullied out of her land by the dastardly due of Ian Keith and Robert Barron, and so some unlikely alliances are forged to defy the baddies. Aside from the crooning, it's not a bad little hour with some fisticuffs and a rather camp effort from Lash La Rue as the "Cheyenne Kid"!
