a5c7b9f00b Gene Autry&#39;s stolen horse turns up in a ghost town where Gene goes after he is left stranded during a stagecoach race. When his stagecoach is disabled in a race, Gene is left stranded and makes his way by foot to an old ghost town. There he finds a woman who says she comes here to talk to the ghost of a man that died twenty years ago. Three men also arrive, two of whom were sent to prison twenty years ago by Gene&#39;s father. They are looking for the money that was never recovered and Gene is in trouble when thay capture him. But then he gets unexpected help when the ghost turns out to be real. Oddball Autry entry, from his limping into a ghost town, to a woman possessed by a ghost, to horse Champion doing everything but talking. Looks like Gene and Columbia were reaching for something different from the matinée formula. <br/><br/>What they come up with is an uneven but interesting storyline that jumps around quite a bit. Nonetheless, prolific director English sneaks in some unusual camera shots adding to the movie&#39;s generally exotic flavor. And catch leading lady Leslie riding around in what looks like an overflowing prom gown, along with a wild horse herd numbering in the thousands. And note the general absence of the usual comedy relief. <br/><br/>As a result, you can&#39;t be sure what will pop up next since Gene (the actor) also gets to play Gene&#39;s (the character) dad, Steve, and with a mustache, no less. Minimize a convoluted plot that plays around with three outlaws and a ghost trying to find a hidden thirty-thousand in gold. Nope, the real draw here is an exotically flavored programmer much less predictable than the usual matinée fare. Riding, shooting and singing…Gene Autry plays in a dual role chasing bad guys that his dad Marshal Steve Autry(Autry)jailed over twenty years earlier. Wonder horse Champion is stolen and Gene has tracked the culprits to a ghost town where school teacher Ruth Lambert(Nan Leslie)believes to have talked to the ghost of an old prospector(Clem Bevans). Gene finds Champion and the horse gets his revenge by trampling a villain. Gene finds time to romance Ruth and gets to sing the popular &quot;You&#39;re The Only Star In My Blue Heaven&quot;wellthe title song &quot;Rim Of The Canyon&quot;. It is easy to see that Columbia Pictures has a larger budget than Republic. Also in the cast: Thurston Hall, Jock Mahoney and Alan Hale Jr.
