While visiting a penitentiary, country music star Garland Dupree (James Callahan) happens to hear a song by inmate Bobby Ogden (Peter Fonda) and decides to steal it. The song becomes a hit, and Ogden swears revenge. When he gets out of jail, he confronts Dupree and ends up being falsely accused of shooting him. On the run, Ogden is helped out by a sympathetic backup singer (Susan Saint James) who circulates the real story of who wrote the song and effectively turns him into a folk hero.

Audience Member Nice double with Payday or Cisco Pike perhaps... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Total B picture, but I love it. I've always had a soft spot for Susan St. James, and Peter Fonda is just so likeable in this! I saw it at just the right moment, in London, and have loved it ever since. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find it on dvd. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Really enjoyable and sweet, although it helps if you like Peter Fonda and can suspend your disbelief at the "old-fashioned" story. Peter and Susan St. James are two very likeable, good-hearted people falling in love, running from the cops, releasing hit records, and having fun doing it. I guess that's "corny", but what the hell DO you like??!? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
