This film sure doesn't skimp on the Gene Autry songs. Ol' Frog (Smiley Burnette) adds a few good ones along with some great sing-a-longs. Edith Fellows is smitten with Autry and they add memorable duets. Leading lady Louise Currie reminds everyone that last week she was head over heels for John Wayne. It all starts when George Ernest, with Fellows gets caught in a rock slide and Autry chases down a runaway coach. Autry gets very skeptical of Dan Pearson's (Emmett Vogan) business practices and foe and friend alike do some shenanigans of the radio broadcast which puts Autry on the hot seat with the town folk. Combat photographer of WW ll, William Henry well plays the inconsolable business man who is literally at the end of his rope. Watch for some good scenes with Fellow's flat tire and Smiley trying to get money from Gene to get a night on the town. With creme of the crop henchmen like Roy Barcroff and Tom London and Ol' Frog's slapstick comedy, Stardust of the Sage is a wonderful early western.
