Doodles Weaver finally gets a break at the Hollywood studio he works for; the big boss J.B. (Richard Arlen) sends him to Nashville to round up talent for an upcoming movie about country music.

Legendary names such as Johnny Cash, the Carter Family, Porter Wagoner, and Waylon Jennings perform some of their big hits in recording studios and on television stages.

    Awful "movie" . . . if you can call it a movie at all . . . but a treat for classic country music fans . . . with a little bit of Marty Robbins' racing at Nashville thrown in.

    This is a movie for the older set. It has a lot of the older country stars. Porter Wagner, Faren Young, etc. Excellent music but poor quality video. Still very enjoyable.
