Carleton Carpenter is Tumbleweeds, just turned 21, and ready to take on Las Vegas. He wants to enter the rodeo events, but he'll have to raise all kinds of cash to do it. He wins some dough, and loses some dough. over and over. and meets up with Dixie (Jan Sterling). Keenan Wynn is in here as "Al", and Douglass Dumbrille; Dumbrille played the slightly shifty businessman in so many films! Dixie and Tumbleweed come up with a not-so-legal way to try to beat the slot machines, but can they pull it off without getting caught? this one moves pretty slowly, but I stuck it in there to the end. anyone who has been to vegas feels his pain as his luck changes. One of Carpenter's last few films was "Some of My Best Friends Are" in 1971, although he was twenty years older, so he may have not been recognizable. such a different role from this young cowboy. and, of course, his duet with Debbie Reynolds in Two Weeks with Love! Written and directed by Norman Foster. directed a bunch of the Charlie Chans, as well as Mister Moto. married to Claudette Colbert for a few years. and also Loretta Young's sister Sally!
