Marilyn (uncredited) held her first part in cinema in this Technicolor movie, recounting the story of a farmers family which quarrel about the best way to take care of the jennies (the title of the movie alluded to the traditional shout used to goad the jennies teams).
Marilyn shot 2 scenes.
In one of them, she was in a dinghy with another starlet (

);
in the other one -cut during the editing - she was backgroundand said hello to June Haver, the feminine leading role (

).
After about 6 months under coontract with the Fox, Marilyn was relieved to get a part - even if it's likely that
she had played an extra in other movies during this era. Although it
was Marilyn's first movie, it was not the first to be released;
actually "Dangerous Years"
(1947) had been released 4 months earlier.

SYNOPSIS
Snug Dominy (Lon McCallister), stable hand, buys a pair of jennies to his boss and receives contradictory advices about the way to train them. The girl of his dreams, Rad McGill (June Haver), seems to be quite as obstinate; she leaves him in doubts right to the end, but he ends up "training" her, like his stubborn jennies. Marilyn makes a fleeting appearance : she plays a girl who is boating while several other young people from the fram are bathing.
