The HOOSIER HOT SHOTS
In Old Monterey

We find the army-airforce using western range land for bombing practice. Of course the locals don't take to kindly to this event and so the army offers to buy them all out. Imagine Uncle Sam's suprise when the farmers rejects offers to buy them out. Army Seargent Gene Autry comes to the rescue, with the able help of our boys, working an undercover mission for the army. Will Gene save the day? Will he and the Hot Shots defeat the evil mine owner? You'll have to watch this one in its entirety to learn why Frank's, then 4 year old, daughter learned from this film that the acting was truely poor in most cowboy westerns.
