Lafe McGee's famous last words before he gets lead poisoning, "So you're a thief as well as a gambler eh?" Tom Tyler is framed but ventriloquist and snake oil salesman Theodore Lorch may give him an alibi if he lives long enough. Jeanne Martel, Tyler's wife in real life has to save the ranch from Jess Brand (Forrest Taylor). Actual cowboy and rodeo man Slim Whitaker plays the sheriff throwing lead at Jess and Tom. Not much chance to showcase Marjorie Beebe's comedic skill in a limited role here. However, a wonderful early western with Tom Tyler and Lorch with a spirited performance.
