Frank Luther

An opera singer whose career is on the wane finds newfound fame doing popular songs on the radio. (imdb)

Frank Luther and company, dressed up for the Gay 90s, perform a street scene and various old songs, including "A Thousand Times No", "When You and I Were Young, Maggie", and because the duck one of them is carrying seems to prefer it, "Clementine."

The two youngsters who want to get married are from either side of the feuding clans. As the preparations are made -- buying cigars and cleaning the rifles -- Frank Luther sings some hillbilly songs, assisted by a band which includes Ray Whitley. But can a peaceful gathering take place when the guys buy exploding cigars?

Frank Luther was a famous country music singer back in the 1930s. As a result of this success, he was able to make a few films. There isn't a ton of plot in this short and what plot there is seems to be an excuse for all sorts of musical performances.

Jack Hansen (played by Frank Luther) is an unappreciated chef in NTG's Paradise Restaurant. He thinks his sweepstakes ticket is a winner, so his boss (Mr. Granlund) promotes him to co-owner. Hansen's girl friend Sally (played by Miss Froos) steps in when the restaurant's star singer quits. It turns out Hansen did not win the sweepstakes, but he got to sing a few songs.

After a man and woman fail to sell any of their songs, the woman receives news from home and the man reflects through song about his childhood home.
