Rustlers' Rhapsody

"Rex O'Herlihan. The great big Western Hero. To a lawless land he brought truth, justice, some fancy riding and wonderful outfits."

May 10 1985 PG 1h 28m
Comedy, Western

A singing cowboy roams the Wild West with his sidekick, dancing horse and fancy wardrobe.

Plot

While the audience watches a black and white horse opera, a narrator's voice wonders what such a movie would be like today. Rex O'Herlihan, The Singing Cowboy, finds himself in color and enters a cliché-ridden town, in which the evil cattle baron (Andy Griffith) and the new Italian cowboys (who always wear raincoats no matter how hot it gets) join forces to get him and the sheep ranchers to leave the valley.
