Country-western favorite Roy Acuff and his Smoky Mountain Boys star in the Columbia musical western Smoky Mountain Melody. Not much happens plotwise Acuff, playing himself, is a tenderfoot who somehow manages to come out on top when he heads westward. The villains (who arent all that villainous) try to promote a phony stock deal, but Roy and his pals foils their plans. The comedy honors go to Guinn Big Boy Williams as a blowhard sheriff. Smoky Mountain Melody was scripted by Barry Shipman, the son of pioneering female filmmaker Nell Shipman.
