They stow away on a ship bound for Alaska where they lose
all their money. Meanwhile, a pair of villains steals an old
man's map of a gold mine.
He dies and his daughter, vaudeville artise, Sal Van Hoyden
(Dorothy Lamour) turns up to claim her inheritance and meet
the scoundrels.
Duke and Chester pretend to be the thieves to get the location
of the mine. From then on its helter-skelter as 'our heroes',
Sal, and assorted criminals try to get the gold.
In Road to Utopia, the fourth 'Road' picture, there aren't
any desert sands, gauzy dancing girls, or tropical isles;
there are snowfields, Eskimos, and freezing brass monkeys.
And the winning recipe is there; jokes, send-ups and chaos.
Again there are great songs by Burke and Van Heusen. 'Put
It There Pal', exuberantly performed by Crosby and Hope. 'Personality'
and 'Would You?' by Dorothy Lamour. 'Welcome To My Dreams'
by Bing Crosby.
Overall it's not the best 'Road' picture; Road To Morocco
and Road To Bali are better, but being third to those great
pictures is pretty good, isn't it?
