Featured review
Gene and Smiley ride into the halls of Congress
Fake news, crooked politicians and congressmen bought and paid for shows you times have not changed. Gene starts singing on the radio to aid ranchers and farmers whose lands were destroyed by floods. Local wheelers and dealers notice his popularity which propels him into politics. He finds that what it takes to
pass a flood control bill may be more than he bargained for. While the action
ensues, Gene, Ol' Frog and Pals of the Golden West entertain with some wonderful songs. Also, great comic relief by the storekeepers near the beginning of the film.
