In SWAMP COUNTRY, David Wetzel (David DaLie) finds himself on the run through the titular swamps, after being accused of a murder. He's tracked by the sheriff (Rex Allen), bloodhounds, and a gaggle of hillbillies. Lyle Waggoner is along as the deputy!
While Wetzel makes his way through the wilderness, his pursuers find themselves overmatched by him, as well as the bears, quicksand (aka: mud), and other natural hazards.
Oddly, Baker Knight sings and strums his way into our hearts, turning this movie into a near musical! Popping up throughout, usually with a pertinent ditty, his country crooning is a major reason to watch this fine film. You'll be singing the theme song for days!
Loads of rustic fun, right up to the "shock" finale, when we learn the killer's true identity...
