After a lengthy absence from the screen, Judy Canova returned in the
raucous musical Honeychile. The plot had been utilized in several
previous Republic films, but was good for yet another go-round here.
Canova plays Judy, a would-be songwriter who sends one of her tunes to
a big-city composer. When the song, published under another author's
name, becomes a hit, music agent Eddie Price (Eddie Foy Jr.) heads to the
sticks to negotiate a contract with Judy. By now, however, she doesn't
want to sell her song: instead, she wants all the royalties for herself.
Eddie's efforts to get her to change her mind are stymied by the presence
of Judy's muscle-bound boyfriend Joe Boyd (Alan Hale Jr.) Somehow,
everything is resolved during a climactic chuck-wagon race.
