Sky Full of Moon

Lanky ranch hand Harley "Tumbleweed" Williams ambles off to that sparkling desert watering hole called Las Vegas, intending to take part in the annual rodeo. A few coins later in one of the one-armed bandits at the Lucky 13 Club, he jackpots all he needs for his rodeo sign-up fee and a shapely lot more: a casino change girl who takes a liking to the naive cowboy. Ultimately, Tumbleweed may also get in a heap of trouble because he trusts his blonde cutie a whit too much.

SKY FULL OF MOON gets under way when Vegas gambling-joint owner Al (Keenan Wynn) rescues rodeo rider Harley Williams (Carleton Carpenter) from drowning. Harley is then "adopted" as a good-luck charm by Al's change girl Dixie Delmar (Jan Sterling). When their lucky gambling streak comes to an end, so too does Harley and Dixie's romantic relationship. Though he practically has to have the moon fall on his head, Harley finally realizes that he's too naïve for life in the Fast Lane. The film's title derives from a line of dialogue delivered by Harley during his clumsy courtship of the hard-bitten Dixie.
