Quotes
Bill: Here's a cablegram for you, Gene. I reckon it came from your brother in South Africa.
Frog Milhouse: South Africa!
Gene Autry: Yeah, it's from Tex all right, fellas. Listen to this! "Dear Gene, Barkley and I discovered a rich diamond mine in the Valley of Superstition. Stop. Need horses badly, but impossible to buy. Stop. Bring at once as many as you can round up. Stop. We can auction off those not needed at big profit. Cable your plans immediately care of John Cardigan - Dunbar, South Africa."
Ranch hand: Diamonds, huh?
Frog Milhouse: He's got a diamond mine. A big one, he said!
Gene Autry: We're ridin', fellas. It's South Africa or bust!

Is This A Low Point For Autry?

Gene Autry gets a telegram from his brother, Ken Cooper, that he's made a big diamond strike, but there are no horses. So Gene and Smiley Burnette head off to Africa with a lot of horses, only to discover that Cooper has vanished.

It's an intriguing variation on the lost gold mine plot, but it soon devolves into one of those movies in which all the ugly stereotypes about dumb Black natives are trotted out. Burnette teaches the Cabin Kids how to sing "Dinah", director Joseph Kane is so uncaring that he doesn't bother to make the shots match on the big stunt gag (in which Autry leaps from Champion onto a runaway Conestoga wagon, and then back again with Maxine Doyle), and Ray Corrigan appears as a gorilla.
