Red Skelton and Ann Rutherford star in the second of the three "Whistling" movies. In this film Red stars once again as Wally "The Fox" Benton who is still trying to marry the love of his life, Carol Lambert, played by Ann Rutherford. When Ann receives their sorority distress call pin from a sorority sister summoning her and her fiance to help in solving a murder, wedding bells are once again put off in exchange for whistling around with another murder.

When they arrive in Georgia, they are greeted by Carol's friend's family and are shocked to see that the villain from the first film is the family cheuffer! A hilarious car ride reveals that they are twins, and he in fact is Chester and the villain is his brother Sylvester. These "twin" roles are played by Rags Ragland who teams well with Red, and almost stole the show at times, being just as hilarious as his firy co-star!

Wally is quickly involved and with hilarious results. When they find out that buried treasure may also be a part of this murder, they are determined to solve the mystery. Do they solve the murder and find buried treasure? Settle down one evening with this film with the lights turned off and armed with popcorn, and you will surely be entertained to tears of laughter! Be sure and watch the other to films in this trilogy, the first being "Whistling in the Dark" and the conclusion, "Whistling in Brooklyn".

Red plays Wally Benton (The Fox) an actor/writer of a murder mystery radio show. Skelton first did this character in "Whistling in the
Dark" which was an outstanding comedy. Whistling in Dixie is almost as good as the first film in the series. Wally and his girl go
way down south and become involved in trying to solve a murder with absolutely hilarious results.
Rags Regland plays a duel role in this film as one of the good guys and one of the bad guys. He is nearly as funny as Skelton as
he plays twins Chester and Sylvester.
