Gangster Matt Chandler arrives from the East determined to win Lila's affections, but must first eliminate Ken as a romantic rival. Chandler and his gang steal his horse, and then finish the job by framing the luckless cowboy for murder. Ken must escape prison and the hangman's noose, if he is to save the girl he loves from being duped out of her ranch by the smooth-talking mobster.Ken Maynard headlines this Mascot production which is highlighted by the unheralded screen debut of singer Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette. Maynard found early success in a number of silent westerns, and made a smooth transition as the talkies gained prominence. Arguably the first singing cowboy on the silver screen, he performed with an unpolished and authentic style. Although beloved by fans, his difficult temperament made him a Hollywood hot potato, bouncing from contract to contract. Once one of the highest paid movie cowboys, Maynard ended his days virtually penniless and dependent on the care of his younger brother and fellow western star, Kermit Maynard. ## Images ![In Old Santa Fe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AI8+nu9RL.jpg) ![In Old Santa Fe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lSXOqRZ2S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ “Anybody drive a car like that woman ought to be put in a booby hatch!” *by E***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 13, 2020* Singing cowboy Kentucky (Ken Maynard) and his sidekick cranky Cactus (Gabby Hayes) run into a couple of crooks in suits bent on framing Kentucky for everything except kidnapping. Framing was a favorite device in a lot of old westerns. When in doubt of a plot, just frame someone and watch them try to wriggle out from under the charge. In this case, Kentucky is framed twice for murder and once for robbery. He had sucker written all over his face. As singing cowboys go, Ken Maynard was pretty good…considering his voice was dubbed by Bob Nolan!!! Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette show up to entertain party guests with a couple of novelty songs. Otherwise, this movie contained nothing but clichés: a runaway stagecoach, a damsel in distress, fistfights, gunfights, a rigged horse race, typical bad guys, fancy cowboy costumes… ### ⭐ Even Gene Autry can't help this poor quality DVD *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 24, 2009* Because I'm a lifelong Gene Autry fan, I purchased this DVD to see "The Singing Cowboy's" first screen appearance. He appears for about seven minutes along with sidekick Smiley Burnette as members of a band entertaining at a dance.The appearance was so short and Autry and Burnette were so unknown that they're not credited as cast members. Ken Maynard and George "Gabby" Hayes were listed as stars of "In Old Santa Fe" -- a 1934 B-Western.The trouble with this Sinister Cinema DVD is its very poor quality. If you enjoy seeing projection lines in your movies and poor sound is OK with you, then go ahead and buy this DVD.But if you're interested in quality, wait for Gene Autry's people to put out a remastered -- and authorized -- version of this historic flick. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by S***2 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2018* Enjoyed it --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/10708293-in-old-santa-fe](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/10708293-in-old-santa-fe) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
