TIMELESS: Gene Autry, Volume 11 Set for August

Timeless Media has set August 25th as the release date for the lastest Gene Autry movie collection, Gene Autry Collection, Volume 11.

Much like past Gene Autry installments, Volume 11 is a 2-disc set featuring four fully-restored films. Three of the four features have been previously released with Springtime in the Rockies (1937) receiving its DVD debut. Details below.

The Singing Cowboy (1936, 56 min.)
When Gene Autry's boss is murdered, Gene becomes the guardian of his little girl. The child is seriously injured in a stable fire and needs a life-saving brain operation. Gene and his pal Frog Millhouse soon organize a hillbilly orchestra to raise money for the surgery and utilize the new medium of television to reach a bigger audience. Tune in to see if the Singing Cowboy captures the murderer and saves the child!

Guns and Guitars (1936, 57 min.)
Gene Autry and Frog Millhouse are musical members of a traveling medicine show who land in the midst of a Texas cattle war. With the daughter of the sheriff to assist him, Gene blazes into action with bullets, ballots, and ballads to clean up the crooked cattlemen and their quarantined cattle. Smiley Burnette and Dorothy Dix join your singing saddle star in the thundering thrills!

Round-Up Time in Texas (1937, 61 min.)
Rancher Gene Autry is summoned to South Africa by his brother Tex who has just discovered a diamond mine in the Valley of Superstition and is in desperate need of horses. Once in Africa, Gene and his pal Frog Millhouse soon discover that Tex is missing and framed for the murder of his mining partner. Tricked into possessing unlicensed uncut diamonds by a sinister saloon owner, Gene and Frog escape into the jungle to find Tex and uncover the truth. Wild lions, a vine swinging gorilla, and savage Zulu natives make this an unusual musical Western.

Springtime in the Rockies (1937, 60 min.)
When cattle-ranch foreman Gene Autry learns that the new ranch owner, Sandra Knight, plans to raise sheep on a 'scientific basis,' he must convince her to sell them as they will ruin the land. She refuses, leaving Gene and Frog Millhouse to devise a plan to discourage her so she'll move back East. Soon a crooked cattle dealer takes advantage of the situation leading to further complications for Gene.
