One of the many things I liked about Gold was that the ending was not a foregone conclusion. Jack Hoxie looked like he was always digging a bigger hole against villain Hooper Atchley and the leading lady Alice Day. It all starts when Hoxie responds to some ribbing when he tries to tame his horse Dynamite, "Every once in a while, he just gets lonesome for a fight. Whenever I walk by him, I can hear him say you long legged maverick I bet I can throw ya clear over my head." He then teams up with the west's favorite old timer Lafe McKee to settle a claim dispute, but that only makes matters worse. I also liked his sidekick, inspiration for the character "Foghorn Leghorn" Jack Rube Clifford. Hoxie had good chemistry with Clifford and this combination might have extended his career in the talkies. Good to see some other western favorites, Tom London, Hank Bell and Bob Kortman.
