A group of cowboys on horseback rides along a dirt path through trees, with one man singing about returning to the home corral. The scene is outdoors in daylight, with natural lighting and no visible buildings or artificial structures.

“Roll a heads up home corral. Roll a heads up home corral. With a howdy-do and a hallelujah, we're a headin' for the home corral.” 0:33 · “I've been three weeks in the open air with sand and cactus in my hair. Give me back my rockin' chair, I'm glad the roundup's over.” 0:33 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
