short description is not available

{$Gene Autry} battles a crooked mine owner in this his signature western from {@Republic Pictures}. Years earlier, Gene promised to take watch over his employer's son Tom ({$Edward Norris}), a young hothead who enjoys the so-called finer things in life. Tom has to be corralled out of the wicked city after finally inheriting the old homestead but life in the supposedly pastoral Arizona hamlet of Solitude proves less than idyllic when greedy copper miner E.G. Blaine ({$Arthur Loft}) begins poisoning the water supply. Not patient enough to let law abiding Gene handle things, Tom takes matters into his own hands and is promptly slapped with a murder charge. Since the local authorities are controlled by Blaine, Gene has Judge Bent ({$Edmund Elson} secure a change of venue for the upcoming trial but the enemy may have an ace up his sleeve. When not shooting it out with Blaine and his henchmen, Gene, {$Smiley Burnette}, leading lady {$Jacqueline Wells} and girl singer {$Mary Lee} perform {&"Good Old-Fashioned Hoedown"}, {&"Swingin' Sam, the Cowboy Man"}, {&"When the Cactus is in Bloom"}, {&"I'm an Old Cowhand"}, {&"Where the River Meets the Range"}, {&"I'm in the Jailhouse Now"}, {&"You Are My Sunshine"}, {&"Ninety-Nine Bullfrogs"} and {$Ray Whitley}'s title tune. {#Back in the Saddle} has been restored to its original length by the {@Westerns Channel} and {@Gene Autry Entertainment}. ~ Hans J.
