*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Seeking fame and fortune in New York city, Roy Rodgers and The Sons Of The Pioneers are called back to Oklahoma to help Gabby Hayes in his ongoing feud with Dale Evans' grandmother. Unbeknownst to both parties, the feud is being stoked by an unscrupulous businessman who discovered oil in the valley.

Unlike most Rodgers vehicles, this fairly lavish Republic Pictures production never lets you forget that it's set in modern times. It starts in a New York skyscraper and ends with the villain being caught red-handed via newsreel footage, shown as part of a Broadway style song-and-dance number!

This has absolutely no gun play (except for Dale's grandmother's shotgun) and very little brawling. However, the climax features an exciting, action-packed wagon race re-creating the Oklahoma land rush of 1889, loaded with heroics and villainous skulduggery.

Man From Oklahoma features some great songs by Roy, Dale, Bob Nolan, and The Sons Of The Pioneers.
