This is the sort of grade Z cowboy movie that people think of when you mention B Westerns. Arising from the resources of producer-director Robert J. Horner (a man with one eye, no legs and less talent), the story seems to involve Ted Wells in his last starring role. He is wandering from rodeo to rodeo with his sidekick Jimmy Aubrey, who refers to himself as "Ptomaine Pete' in the most glowing terms and the third person. They occasionally encounter George Cheseborough, in what may be a dual role as Buck and the Phantom Bandit.
The tin-eared script script is blamed on Carl Krusada. Besides failures of dialogue and my severe disagreement with what they term "comic relief", there are continuity issues, obviously repeated shots, a dumb score and everyone sounds like they are reciting their lines after being fed them, six words at a time.
This was Horner's last movie as director -- there is no credited producer. His production company was Aywon. I suspect it disappeared when Ralston engineered his consolidation of the more ambitious Poverty Row producers into Republic. If so, I forgive him for trying to foist his wife, Vera Hruba, on the American public as a star.
