Directed By Joseph Kane
SYNOPSIS
Nazi saboteurs are targeting American targets. A governor assigns a popular rodeo showman (Roy Rogers) to take them down... and some of them are his fellow performers!
An absurd piece of WWII propaganda.
The governor enlists Roy Rogers (who plays 'himself') because the saboteurs 'wouldn't suspect him.' This is completely ridiculous concept and it's hard to accept this as any form of reality. This isn't helped by Rogers' path to take down the bad guys being an extremely boring one... even if he has to diffuse a bomb and fight the baddies.
There are a few musical numbers (delivered onstage) to pad out the story. These are fine, but clearly exist as padding and add nothing.
The only worthwhile bit from the film is that it gave Roy Rogers his classic nickname, King Of The Cowboys.
