    lot of ol vaudeville bits
    Rawtha silly plot. Period piece. When two vaudeville performers head for the hills to find gold and strike it rich, they notice there are no women! They decide to bring their show to the west. Except they forget to tell the girls all about this plan. It's all just excuses to show off all their various acts. A whole bunch of songs by Pollack and Harris. Stars Wally Brown, Alan Carney as Jerry and Mike. A very early role for Bob Mitchum, as Jimmy. Co-stars Frances Langford, Barbara Jo Allen as the girls in the show. Guys in drag. This would have been perfect for Bob Hope and Bing Crosby! Gotta have a bar room brawl. It's entertaining. Plain and simple. Just go with it. Directed by Gordon Douglas, who had made all those films with sinatra. A couple funny gags in their act.
