Sing, Cowboy, Sing is a 1937 American Western film directed by Robert N. Bradbury and starring Tex Ritter and White Flash.
Plot
Drifters Tex and Duke happen to ride upon the massacre of a group hauling freight for the community by a gang hired by someone who wishes the lucrative business by himself so he can run the entire valley. Taking the only survivor, Madge daughter of the late owner of the freight hauling line to the nearest town, Tex and Duke take over the dangerous hauling business themselves for Madge.
The pair get jobs as entertainers in Judge Roy Dean's (according to a title card of the film, not based on Judge Roy Bean) combination saloon and courtroom to discover who is responsible for the massacre.

Critical reception
Variety described the film as a "rubber-stamp western" that stood out from similar films through its use of comedy and humor, and for some of the performances. The reviewer complimented the director for highlighting the characterizations of the supporting cast, notably Al St. John and Robert McKenzie, rather than focussing on the romantic storyline, although Louise Stanley, as the "love interest" was recognised for performing "with restraint."[1]
