Along the way, Rogers finds love with his leading lady, Dale Evans. Enjoy the singing cowboy in his first starring role, rubbing shoulder with politians, going up against greedy executives, and representing a whole people group you'll see why Rogers became a national icon! Plus music and singing from the Maple City Four. (The song "Dust" was nominated for an Academy Award!) Directed by Joseph Kane.
