- DirectorEugene GenockStarsQuentin ReynoldsJackson BeckJames W. LoganThis 58 (fifty-eight) minute feature was produced by the Paramount Newsreel department ("The Eyes and Ears of the World") and vaguely suggests that the Italian campaign of World War II that in the way the "Forgotten Campaign of WWII" was vital to the whole defeat of Hitler and Nazi Germany, the Korean campaign may be vital to stopping communism. Primarily the central action of the film covers the aerial bombardment of the famed monastery "Montecassino," which the Nazis had fortified and used to slow down the Allied march through Italy to France and Germany. Part of the film is told around the exploits of U. S. Army Sergeant James W. Logan, and U. S. Army Captain David Ludlum, a weather-forecasting officer. The long months of the war after the liberation of Rome are passed over, but a lot of footage dealing with the landings at Salerno, and the dreary battles and muddy conditions there---documented elsewhere by famed war-correspondent Ernie Pyle and "Stars and Stripes" cartoonist Bill Mauldin, with his "Wille and Joe" strips.

- DirectorHugh BennettStarsJean HeatherCharles QuigleyRobert BenchleyMade at the time when the National Barn Dance program, on radio station WLS (for World's Largest Store and owned by Sears & Roebuck) in Chicago, was as big on a national scale listening audience as "The Grand Ole Opry" out of Nashville. The film highlights the leading acts then performing on the program; comedian Pat Buttram (Pat Buttram), announcer Joe Kelly (Joe Kelly),(before his Quiz Kids stint), Lulubelle & Scotty (Scotty Wiseman and wife Myrtle Wiseman)), the Dinning Sisters trio, Arkie the Arkansas Wood Chooper (Luther W. Ossenbrink) and the Hoosier Hot Shots quartet, whose musical abilities and creativity were vastly underrated. The piffle of a story begins in the early days of radio (Calvin Coolidge was President) but otherwise seems to take place in 1944, which made things easier on the Art and Set directors. Agent John Berke (Charles Quigley) thinks advertising executive Mitcham (Robert Benchley) wants to put together a program of hillbilly performers---a term used until later years when Nashville went uptown and changed it to Country & Western---and hies himself down to a country town where Lulubelle (Myrtle Wiseman) & Scotty (Scott Wiseman) hold a barn dance in their barn every Saturday night featuring themselves and their farm hands, although it is not quite clear just what chores the Dinning Sisters perform. He signs all hands to a contract, brings them to Chicago and learns that Mitcham has no intentions of putting together such a program to be sponsored by the Garvey Soup Company owned by the Garveys (Charles Dingle and Mabel Paige). A bit of plot contrivance---a small bit--- changes all of that, and the National Barn Dance is born.

- DirectorCharles ReisnerStarsGertrude MichaelLee BowmanSandra StormeReformed jewel-thief Sophie Lang, tired of being questioned by the New York City police every time a jewel disappears, decides to head for California, and is hiding in the train-compartment of film-writer Eddie Rollyn. Rollyn is working on a story for film-star Helga Roma, who is also aboard the train with her manager, Steve Clayson. Thinking there is a story in Sophie's flight, Rollyn agrees to help her out and hide her from the police if she will help him with his film story. NYC Detective Archie Banks is aboard the train guarding the Sultan of Padaya, owner of a precious gem called "Star of the World." Archie gets the Sultan's consent to allow Miss Roma to wear the gem in a film, feeling that the publicity will entice Sophie out of retirement to steal the stone, and he can get some publicity himself by capturing her in the attempt. But Crayson steals the jewel and tries to escape with it, but is captured by Rollyn. Clayson escapes and finds Sophie. He tells her that Rollyn is an ex-thief, and she must help him steal the diamond again, or he will expose Rollyn and ruin his career.
- DirectorCharles VidorStarsAnn DvorakJohn TrentHarry BeresfordAlden "Bill" Carter III sees a beautiful woman, Jerry, dining alone at the Park Savoy in New York, and after a brief flirtation, introduces himself. After he entreats her to be his "mystery woman" to make his girl friend jealous, Jerry agrees to attend a reception that night with him at the Douglas home. This plays right into Jerry's plans, as she is a jewel thief who intends to steal the Douglas jewels with her cohorts, Uncle John and Jeff. That night at the reception, Bill apparently becomes drunk, and Uncle John, posing as a Swedish waiter, steals the necklace from Mrs. Douglas's neck without notice and gives it to Jerry. Jeff, who is posing as a chauffeur, drives Bill and Jerry to a secluded area where he intends to kill Bill, because he thinks that Jerry gave him the jewels. Instead, Bill robs them, takes Jerry's purse, and forces Jeff to strip and unload his arsenal, which includes guns, knives and a hand grenade. Jerry and Jeff are then arrested for indecent exposure, and upon their release, Jeff and Uncle John intend to retrieve the jewels from Bill at his apartment. After Jerry calls Bill to warn him of their arrival, he appears at her apartment because he correctly assumes that she has the jewels, as they were not in her purse. The police, meanwhile, discover that the real Alden Carter III was playing polo in another state at the time of the robbery. Uncle John and Jeff return to the apartment, and discovering Bill and Jerry together, believe they had plans to escape. Bill and Jerry pretend they are in love to play up to their expectations, and Jerry tearfully promises to return the jewels. In order to avoid doing this, however, Bill attracts a policeman's attention by throwing a statuette out of the window, which hits the policeman on the head and prompts him to come into the apartment. Jerry and Bill are arrested and, while pretending they are a married couple for fun, really fall in love. Upon their release they decide to return the jewels to the insurance company for the reward, however, Uncle John and Jeff find them first. Jerry slips the diamonds into Uncle John's pocket just before they are all arrested by police. At police headquarters, both Jerry and Bill are revealed to be insurance investigators working for different companies because Uncle John had stolen jewels from Mrs. Douglas twice before, and had then split the insurance money with her. Mrs. Douglas promises to refund the money, and Uncle John and Jeff are incarcerated. At the Park Savoy, Bill and Jerry flirt again, this time with the intention of becoming newlyweds.

- DirectorMarion GeringStarsJohn BolesGladys SwarthoutCharles BickfordIt is California in 1852 that only recently being surrendered by Mexico to the United States and admitted into the union. Most of the land-owners of California were the descendants of the Dons who had colonized it a hundred years before and whose title deeds bore the signature and seal of a long-dead Spanish king. But, by a loop-hole in the law, the title-deeds of the Dons could not be recognized, and this opened the door of organized gangs of land-grabbers, such as the one led by Joe Kincaid, to operate with a prime excuse for legitimate plunder and robbery. In most cases the law was unable to cope with the situation. Then Rosita Castro, the daughter of Don Pasqual Castro, masked and disguised as a man, organized a band of vigilantes to fight against the tyranny of the outlaws, aided by an undercover federal agent, Jim Kearney.

- DirectorRobert N. BradburyStarsBill CodyAndy ShufordBlanche MehaffeyThe first of the series known as (and called such by Monogram) the "Bill 'n Andy" series with western star Bill Cody and a young Andy Shuford. Not a series in the usual sense as neither played continuing characters in the series and weren't always called Bill and Andy. Cody's trademark---intentional or otherwise---was a 20-gallon hat rather than the usual 10-gallon variety, and clothes that always seemed to have been made for someone a lot bigger than Bill Cody was... plus he would wear as many as three or four different hats (always big) within the same film, and have at least two or more costume changes (none that fit his frame) in most of his films.Costume changes in B-Westerns was out of the norm, primarily for budget and continuity reasons, but Cody had a large wardrobe and evidently brought most of it with him with intent to use. This one has Andy's father dying in the desert and Cody comes along and adopts him or something. They help sheriff Manning chase down his crooked deputy Dan Kirk, and Andy gets a deputy's badge (junior version) and Bill gets the sheriff's daughter, June.

With "Black Bart" the dog following, Dan rides his new horse "Satan" home to the Cumberland ranch, where he has lived for ten years. Cumberland's daughter Kate berates Dan for staying away for so long, but nonetheless defends him when Cumberland insists that Black Bart be sent away. Cumberland relents, but explains to Kate that she should not give her heart to Dan, who has been wild himself since his family was lost in a flood ten years ago. Cumberland found young Dan roaming the wilderness alone, and he fears that Dan will never understand the treacherous ways of human beings. After Kate gives him the good news that Black Bart can stay, Dan goes to town, where he wins the bets testing his shooting ability offered by a boastful stranger, Jim Silent. They go to the bar, where Silent starts a fight with Dan, and during the confusion, Silent, Lee Haines and their gang steal the bar's till. Dan is knocked unconscious and in danger of being killed when the bar catches fire, but he is rescued by Satan and Black Bart. Everyone, including the gang, Kate and Cumberland, believes that Dan is dead, but, later that night, Dan's eerie whistling convinces the gang that he is still alive.

Dan joins forces with Marshal Tex Calder, who deputizes him, and the pair trace the gang to the Elkhead Hotel, where Silent shoots and kills Calder.

Dan arrives at the hideout, where Kate begs him to free Haines for her sake because she is in love with him. Dan is crushed but agrees to do as she wishes, and soon has Haines back at the hideout.
