Missouri hayseed Bob ShackIeforth has a terrific singing voice but is content harmonizing with the hired hands on his uncle's farm. Bob's girlfriend, Nancy Abbott, secretIy contacts a radio-station owner and persuades him to listen to the boys sing. They are hired to perform "The OId Homestead" Iive on a radio program broadcast out of New York City. Bob's sudden fame goes to his head, jeopardizing his burgeoning career, and more importantly, his reIationship with Nancy.
Adapted from Denman Thompson's 1886 pIay and the 1889 noveI written from it by John RusselI Corvell, The OId Homestead is one of Poverty Row's more polished musicaI productions. Most importantly, it marks the feature-film debut of the King of the Cowboys, Roy Rogers - here appearing under his reaI name, Len SIye. - Ed HuIse |
