Ferlin Husky sings the title song and plays a "Swamp Ranger" in this low budget drama set in the Okefenokee Swamp of Georgia. The pretty Simone Griffeth is the Swamp Girl, a flaxen-haired beauty running barefoot in a short dress through the swamps. She lives with "Pa", who is actually a black man close to her own age. An extended flashback explains that situation. Throw in a couple of prison escapees for conflict, add a few renegade rednecks for humor, some minor violence for blood, and you've got the winning formula for drive-in success in an early 70s Deep South.
