Boots and Saddles (1937 film)
Boots and Saddles is a 1937 American Western film directed by Joseph Kane and starring Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, and Judith Allen. Based on a story by Jack Natteford, the film is about a young Englishman who inherits a ranch that he wants to sell, but is turned into a real Westerner by a singing cowboy.
After Gene rescues Edward from a runaway horse, Edward apologizes for his earlier behavior, leading Gene to conclude that the young Englishman is a regular fellow. They give him the nickname Spud, which was also his fathers nickname, and encourage him not to sell the ranch. Soon after, Jim Neale Bill Elliott, a wealthy rancher to whom the late earl owed money, approaches Edward and offers to buy the ranch, warning him that if he does not pay the money his father owed him, he will take him to court. Neale unknowingly inspires them to sell their cow ponies to the Army to raise the money necessary to save the ranch. A few days later, proves his mettle by helping round up the horses and drive them back to the ranch.Intending to sell the horses to Colonel Allen Guy Usher at Fort Wayne, Gene and the others head along the dusty roads in their wagons, at one point deliberately dusting the passengers of a buggy. Gene doesnt know that the buggy contains Neale, Colonel Allen, and his daughter Bernice Judith Allen. Later at the fort, Bernice recognizes Gene when he comes to the colonels quarters. Pretending to be a maidservant, she falsely tells Gene that Colonel Allen is hard of hearing, and the next day, the colonel is annoyed by Genes yelling at him during the horse auction. ........
