Judy sings while the corn pops!

O.K., so that was a "corny" way to start my review, but if you can't do that for a Judy Canova film, where can you do it? Judy, a carnival fortune teller, inherits a ghost town which is rumored to be haunted. However, veteran bad man Al Bridge wants to get his hands on it so he arranges for it to appear haunted so Judy can't return it to the Indians as her grandfather wanted. Ghostly visits from grandpa do help her, as does brother Allen Jenkins.

An amusing second string Columbia musical comedy where the gags fly as fast as the tumbleweed's. Judy sings a very funny version of Eddie Cantor's hit "Ma, He's Makin' Eyes at Me" and a few other novelty songs, including one disguised as a sultry Mexican senorita. It's a pleasant time filler that won't make you feel you've wasted any of it. Judy took a break from filmmaking, but the films she did upon her return pale in comparison to the ones she did in the mid 1940's at Columbia, rivaling fellow funny girl Joan Davis with their plain spoken, deadpan deliveries.
