Dan (Ken Curtis) is producing a show and of course our boys have to be a part of it. Dan's love interest is a wealthy socialite (masquerading as a maid) and needs a break in show business. Will Joan's wealthy Father (with a hidden show business past) destroy young love and the concert? Will Ken save the ranch? Will the Hot Shots dress up like Indians (huh)? And what about the Doctor scene (reminiscent of the Fein Brothers). You'll have to watch. In this, the second of eight Ken Curtis music Westerns produced by Columbia, the country band the Hoosier Hots Shots arrive in the wild and woolly West to partake in Dan Tyler's (Curtis) "Painted Post Barn Show." Dan auditions and hires girl-singer Joan Smith (June Storey), unaware that she is actually Boston socialite Joan Wingate, whose father (Thurston Hall) has forbidden her to enter show business. When Joan's foppish fiancée William Van Welby (Grady Sutton) suddenly appears, the Hot Shots dress up as wild Indians in order to scare the tenderfoot off. Van Welby sees through the ruse and contacts Wingate, who demands that Joan leave with him for Boston. The Hot Shots, now dressed as doctors, convince Wingate to stay in the West for health reasons. Van Welby, meanwhile, hires some crooks to sabotage the show, and Dan and his performers are arrested on a groundless charge of running a gambling den. Dan's comic sidekick Andy (Andy Clyde) discovers that old man Wingate is actually a former road show stage manager.   Columbia Pictures Release Date 9/27/45 Director Ray Nazarro Story J.
