Jack Haley plays Jack North, the nether end of a vaudeville horse act who inherits a western ranch. When he heads to the Great Outdoors to take possession, Jack winds up at the wrong place: a swanky dude ranch. He immediately begins running things, at it's quite a while before his error is discovered. By the time he shows up at his own ranch, he's up to his ears in unpaid debts-which naturally requires a fund-raising musical show as a bail-out. Harriet Hilliard handles the romantic portion of the proceedings, occasionally dueting with her real-life husband, bandleader Ozzie Nelson.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie is a massive pile of crap. It is unbearable and I cannot believe I sat through all of this movie. It is so stupid that it can't even spell CLOWNS right.

I've seen a lot of terrible movies in my life and this one ranks in the top 10 for least worst watching. It's not entertaining in the slightest.At least something like Plan 9 from Outer Space is entertaining. This film is just a cheap cash-in on lowbrow gross-out "entertainment".Growing up, we had HBO and the channel spamming this film over and over again. To me, it is synonymous with the lowest common denominator.There are no redeeming qualities to this film. Direction? No. Music? No. Set design? No. Costuming? No. Dialog? No. Sexy nude actors? No. Talented acting that overcomes everything else being bad? No. It's just boredom from start to finish.

I honestly can't fathom all these stellar reviews, especially considering the potential charms of actually enjoyable B-Movies (i.e. Miami Connection, No Retreat No Surrender).This film is utterly boring and didn't make me laugh once within the first 40 minutes (I stopped it after that). A total waste of time.I find it impossible that only a quarter of the written reviews here are poor ratings. Here's mine. Hope I saved at least one person some time.Now onward, in my search for better B-Movies.

In my opinion, this movie flat out sucked. It was so stupid it was.... well it was just stupid. Not funny at all. I think they were trying to make some kind of horror comedy, and it just came out lame rather than good. I knew it was going to be "sort of stupid" when I walked into it but really? A circus tent from the sky hey? Killing people and preserving them in cotton candy cocoons? This was just stupid and dumb. The whole plot was so stupid it couldn't even be justified as a joke. Let's talk about the acting. The clowns didn't have to do much acting at all. So, they weren't too bad. However, the rest of the cast just flat out sucked, really bad to. The acting was held back, and just...terrible. I can't even describe it. Especially in the beginning, where the guy goes to the circus tent (the supposed meteor) and starts looking around. When he loses his dog and starts to look for him, my facial expression to his reaction to the lost dog must have been really funny. Where did they get actors like these? All I can say is wow. A lot of people will disagree with me on this, but I place this movie in my turds of terror-short movie list. It's so popular, but so terrible at the same time.
