Beal, Armida, Carey
A long bar makes an excellent spot to stand and watch the nightly entertainment. The comedic singer Dominga will pay you a table-side visit when she's not tripping over the feet of a New England born and bred city boy. A raised seating area allows extra people to enjoy the floor show of a three-piece trio playing guitar, accordion, and a bongo accompanying Dominga.
And now the story:
The spoiled son of a senator packs up and vacates his father's house for the wanderlust offered in faraway Verde, Texas, a location chosen on a whim when he asks the ticket agent where the man's hometown is. Once there, the senator's son finds love with a Mexican singer who may or may not be involved with a syndicate honcho exploiting ranchers for cattle protection money.
John Beal plays spoiled, silver-spoon boy Keith Whitney. Armida plays Dominga. Rounding out the cast is veteran cowpoke Harry Carey, Sr., Marjorie Lord, and Paul Fixx probably best known as the sheriff on The Rifleman.
Written by Lionel Houser from a story by Thomas Gill, the movie is directed by Lew Landers.

Better stops will be planned for the Lonely Street Bar Noir Pub Crawl. Until then, be sure to settle your tab.
