Roy Rogers' first color western features the singing cowboy as an oil wildcatter trying to obtain the rights to an old Spanish land grant. Gamblers headquartered on a ship offshore conspire to get the land first. Evans, playing a kind of Tugboat Annie of the West, sprightly sings "There's
Nothin' Like Coffee in the Morning." Roy croons the title song and "Ride, Vaquero," and is particularly good on "Wishing Well." The Sons of the Pioneers do a fine rendition of "Jose."
