To the rescue ride "Lucky Day" (Steve Martin), "Dusty Bottoms" (Chevy Chase) and "Ned Nederlander" (Martin Short), three bumbling actors who have just been fired by their Hollywood studio. They think they have been invited south of the border to sing, not shoot, but in the end they rally the villagers to throw out the desperadoes.

Although not a critic's band, this group does have a hit single, "Falling in Love," which is gradually climbing the charts. Orpheum theater, October...
