Movie spotlight
A spirited cast kicks up its heels in a lively musical spoof of cowboy films crammed with spur-jangling tunes by Jay Livingstone and Ray Evans and decked out with colorfully stylized, Oscar.-nominated sets. Rosemary Clooney heads up the high-kicking, red-gartered girls of the Red Dog Saloon. They can-can. but she won't-won't unless Jason (Jack Carson) asks her to get hitched. Guy Mitchell and Gene Barry are gun-totin' polecats who think they've got a feud to settle. And Frank Faylen and Buddy Ebsen are among the folks who hope the gunslingers get itchy fingered - so they can hold a town barbecue during the funeral!
In the wild west town of Redemption, a saloon owner, Luke Wallace, is known for his strict anti-gambling and anti-drinking policies. This changes when a mysterious stranger named Red arrives, challenging Luke's authority and introducing a more lively atmosphere. The town becomes a battleground between the old guard and the new, with the arrival of a traveling circus adding to the chaos and leading to musical numbers and comedic misunderstandings.
