Freckles Comes Home (1942)

This is not great art, but still it is enjoyable lightweight entertainment. A gangster has to leave town until the heat is off. On the bus he meets Johnny Downs, who is going back to his hometown and recommends it. His friend, Marvin Stephens, and the inimitable Mantan Moreland, provide the comic relief. (Someone has sold Moreland a "gold finder.") Downs' father has made a bad financial investment, and it is up to the fearless trio, with the help of the romantic interest, Gale Storm, to save the day.
