Still en route from New York to Hollywood, the Ricardos and the Mertzes are arrested for exceeding the speed limit of Bent Fork, TN.

Offering to help the travelers escape from jail, Cousin Ernie is himself nabbed by the sheriff (Will Wright), but he arranges for the Ricardos' and Mertzes' release by agreeing to marry the sheriff's inaptly named daughter Teensey (Marilyn Borden).

But generous Ernie decides to help out his hosts -- and the Mertzes -- by dressing them up as rubes and wangling a musical guest spot on "Millikan's Chicken Mash Hour," a TV show hosted by another of Ernie's unlimited supply of city cousins! ~ All Movie Guide

In a strategy designed to boost the slightly flagging ratings of I Love Lucy, the series offered its first two-part story, built around the talents of guest star Tennessee Ernie Ford. In part one, the Ricardos extend their hospitality to a cousin of a friend of Lucy's mother, a bucolic fellow named Ernie who hails from Bent Fork, TN. Though Ernie is friendly and likeable, he soon becomes quite a pest, especially when he insists upon singing early in the morning and waking up the entire apartment building. To get rid of Ernie, Lucy (Lucille Ball) tries to scare him off by disguising herself as one of those "wicked city wimmen" that Ernie's mother has warned him about. ~ All Movie Guide

Rancher Randolph Scott rides right into a romantic triangle in this moody western. He is forced to stand by as his mercenary girl friend (Joan Leslie) is lured away by a wealthy neighboring rancher (Alexander Knox). When the neighbor is killed, Scott is accused of the murder, and spends the balance of the film clearing himself. After a blood-spattered fistfight with a gunslinger (John Russell) and several gun battles, Scott consoles himself with schoolteacher Ellen Drew. Based on a novel by Ernest Haycox, Man in the Saddle was the first of the lucrative collaborations between star Randolph Scott and producer Harry Joe Brown. The film's title song is sung over the credits by Tennessee Ernie Ford. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
