An insufferably "cute" mixture of western (although the story is set in 1850s South Africa) and musical, featuring child star SYBIL JASON in her usual Shirley Temple type of role wherein she emerges the heroine who saves the day.
The only decent aspect of the whole featurette is the rich looking Technicolor and the gorgeous scenery.
Otherwise, forget it. The only other point of interest is seeing JANE WYMAN in a costume film (rather than a modern story or musical), with little to do but look concerned about her thwarted romance with a British soldier (CARLYLE MOORE, JR.), who looks an awful lot like a young Shepherd Strudwick.
There are a couple of songs, none of them memorable, and the whole thing winds up predictably with little Sybil saving the day. There are too many "icky" moments for comfort as the slight story unwinds.
Worthwhile for the astonishingly lovely Technicolor alone.
