"Cowboy Serenade" is has a decent plot. But what really sets the story apart is Cecil Cunningham as Aunt Priscilla. She was wonderfully well written and every moment she was on screen, I was thrilled! Rarely does a supporting character help improve a film this much!
When the story begins, Gene sends a young man by train with his and his friends' cattle in order to take them to market for sale. However, some card cheats on the train manage to involve him in a dishonest poker game and he soon loses the cattle! Gene and Frog soon go on this same train, hoping to find the cheats and see they face justice. But the local sheriff and DA seem unwilling to act when he does catch the crooks and so Gene goes to see a man who CAN help.
As I mentioned above, Aunt Priscilla was a hoot! She was spunky and fun and the ordinary story rose to great heights thanks to the inclusion of this character.
