Hearts of the West
Lewis Tater, a naive Iowa farm boy, aspires to be a famous Western novelist like his hero, Zane Grey. He leaves home to respond to an ad for on-campus classes for a writing correspondence course, only to discover that the school is a row of postboxes at an isolated Nevada train depot. On the run from the con men who are to blame, Lewis comes across "real" cowboys—cowboy actors filming a movie in the desert. Instead, the would-be writer finds himself acting in Westerns for the run-down Tumbleweed Productions studio in Depression-era Hollywood.
