Home in Oklahoma is a 1946 American Western film starring Roy Rogers.
Plot
After the wealthy Flying U Ranch owner Sam Talbot is killed by a fall from a horse, reporter Connie Edwards (Dale Evans) enlists the help of newspaper editor Roy Rogers to investigate a rumor that Sam may have actually been murdered. Talbot's 12 year-old ward, Duke Lowery (Lanny Rees), inherits Sam's ranch, much to the dismay of Talbot's greedy niece, Jan Holloway (Carol Hughes). Roy, Dale and ranch hand Gabby (Gabby Hayes) set out to prove Jan is involved in a threat on Duke's life and possibly Sam's murder. Under the superb direction of William Witney, Home in Oklahoma is filled with memorable songs, including Roy and Dale's rendition of the novelty classic "Miguelito."
