What happens

The Round Up is a 1941 American Western film directed by Lesley Selander and written by Harold Shumate. The film stars Richard Dix, Patricia Morison, Preston Foster, Don Wilson, Ruth Donnelly, Jerome Cowan and Douglass Dumbrille. The film was released on April 4, 1941, by Paramount Pictures. It is a remake of the 1920 silent film The Round-Up, and is noteworthy for casting Wilson (best known as Jack Benny's announcer) in a rare dramatic role as the tubby sheriff originally played by Roscoe Arbuckle.
