Jane Withers In “Chicken Wagon Family”
Hi, folks! That famous “Chicken Wagon Family” is rolling along with Jane Withers and Leo Carrillo in the driver’s seat! Partners again, this time Jane and Carrillo are daughter and Daddy in a carefree family who hear the call of the open road, toss their cares into a red bandanna and travel around the country bartering any and everything for chickens —and selling the chickens when they hit the*big city! And if you know Jane and Carrillo, we needn’t tell you that they run into plenty of trouble and excitement and fun en route! Jane’s Mama, Spring Byington (the famous Jones Family mother) and Jane’s big sister, Marjorie Weaver, yearn to settle down in a real home in the big city. But Papa Carrillo can’t keep a dollar in his jeans and when they get to town the best they can do (with the aid of a handsome cop in the person of Kane Richmond, who falls in love with Marjorie at first sight) is to settle down in a deserted fire house that is up for public sale. After a series of amazing and amusing adventures, in the typical Withers tradition, all ends happily. Herbert I. Leeds directed “Chicken Wagon Family” from a screen play by Viola Brothers Shore.
