Cowboy movie star Charles Starrett tires of of Hollywood phoniness and decides to abandon his career and become a real-life cowpoke. He lands in a remote area where basically nobody knows movie stars and eventually proves his worth with the locals. Naturally, there are bad guys to fight and a pretty girl to woo. This 56 minute B western was the first of a whopping 100 plus "B" westerns Charles Sta more

Cowboy movie star Charles Starrett tires of of Hollywood phoniness and decides to abandon his career and become a real-life cowpoke. He lands in a remote area where basically nobody knows movie stars and eventually proves his worth with the locals. Naturally, there are bad guys to fight and a pretty girl to woo. This 56 minute B western was the first of a whopping 100 plus "B" westerns Charles Starrett would make from 1936 into the 1950's for Columbia. The story is slight (although it seems to have inspired the 1990's film PURE COUNTRY starring country singer George Strait) but it moves fast (naturally) and Charles Starrett is an above-average actor for "B" westerns and is absolutely the most gorgeous hunk of man who ever had a major career in the genre with dashing looks to rival Tyrone Power or Robert Taylor. You will be hard pressed to decide which is the most appealing Charlie - the dashing cowboy or the dashing sophisticate in black tie and tails (which he also dons in this picture). The cowboy won out and Starrett abandoned mainstream films and his career as a hunky leading man for the likes of Billie Dove, Constance Bennett, and Carole Lombard for further adventures on the prairie with Iris Meredith as his perennial leading lady.
