    Once again, Charley heads to the Ozarks or Appalachians...or whatever.
    Charley is in the hill country of the South. Why, we have no idea. However, when he sees pretty Thelma Todd by the side of the road, he decides to stick around and try to pretend he's one of 'em. The problem, however, is that these mountain folk don't take to outsiders or the law--so he has his hands full trying to fit in with the locals--especially since they have a a bad habit of shooting them! Along the way, there are a few laughs and Charley sings a nice tune--something he did in a few shorts here and there. While not a great voice, it was very pleasant and a nice interlude for those who didn't know he was a man of many talents (he also directed many of Hal Roach Studio's shorts as well). But, combined with all the square dancing, the comedy, at times, ended up taking a back seat. As a result, it's a good film but far from one of Charley's better films.
