Above, Wally Vernon and Barry.  They paired up in two different western series --- the first was at Republic during the 1940s and the second effort was around 1950 at Lippert Pictures where Barry did GUNFIRE (1950), I SHOT BILLY THE KID (1950), more.

Though the film starred Don 'Red' Barry and the blonde-tressed Mary Beth Hughes (shown in upper right corner), it featured Spade Cooley and his western swing band, Cowboy Copas, the Tumbleweed Tumblers, more.  The producer was Ron Ormond who also did the 'Western Adventures Productions' with Lash LaRue in the late 1940s.  The film was a 'Donald Barry Production' and released through Lippert Pictures. The storyline has talent agents Don Barry and pal Wally Vernon running into cattle rustlers while searching for performers to appear on Cooley's TV show.
