Another entertaining Dick Powell adventure, this time a Western from 1948. Powell is on the trail of some missing gold so he infiltrates the local gang, run by the beautiful but ruthless Jane Greer, whose hands are in just about everything. Powell offers to run the local transport concern & a shipment of gold, mined from Agnes Moorehead's property, is the first trial which sure enough is hit w/the co-driver being killed in the process. Powell tracks down the thieves & confirming Greer's outfit is behind the crimes. W/the criminals on his heels (even Moorehead suspects he's turned sides & stolen the goods for himself), Powell has to move & shake to bring the criminals to justice. Featuring signature rat-a-tat dialogue & a welcome smug demeanor, Powell is in full command of the action w/Raymond Burr (as a sleazy lawyer) & Burl Ives (who croons a couple of ditties) rounding out the cast.
