    Con Artists in a Small Town
    A group of con-artists (James Dunn, Raymond Walburn, William Fraley and Arlene Judge) find themselves in need of a new scheme and descend upon the hometown of Foster (Dunn) to pull a job. When they arrive, Foster is greeted by the pesky kid sister of an old friend, only now she is grown up and gorgeous (Rosina Lawrence). He decides to abandon his plans for her sake, but that doesn't stop Walburn from selling fake bonds to the locals, forcing Foster to find a way to give them their money back. The town is expecting a visit from a millionaire (Charles Sellon), so the group decides he is their next target.

    This is a pleasant programmer full of laughs and great character actors. "Stars and Stripes Forever" becomes a running joke as the town literally strikes up the band for every train that comes through in case a millionaire is on it. There is a wonderful swimming hole scene with Dunn, Sellon and Walburn, a slice of Americana.

    I saw this film screened at Cinevent in Columbus, Ohio in 2021.
