Reporter Toni Ames (Dale Evans) comes to the Wild West in search of a story about notorious outlaw Wildcat Kelly and his money. The legends have it that Kelly has been long dead, but Ames suspects otherwise. Old-timer Gabby Whittaker (George "Gabby" Hayes) is willing to tell Ames what he knows about Kelly, which is a considerable amount, it turns out. Meanwhile, Ames starts to fall for Whittaker's partner, cowboy Roy Rogers (Roy Rogers), even though she doesn't feel at home on a ranch.

Audience Member The best movie song ever sung: the title song (Don't Fence Me In)! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Tongue-in-cheek Funny, sweetly nostalgic, a comedy western adventure you'll enjoy. Family friendly, of course with the effervescent Roy Rogers and Dale Evans in fine form here fully immersed in all the things they love doing. A nice hour or so with some effortlessly entertaining, good ol' fashioned cowboy kitsch. Always a joy to watch them in their element. 4 Giddy-ups out of 5 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/18 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorites!
