SYNOPSIS: Cattle rustlers...
NOTES: Starrett's 19th starring western.
COMMENT: Just a fair Charlie Starrett western. The plot is a familiar one — and so are the people acting in it. Still, it's very nice to see the old faces again, even if they are all a bit below form.
The likable relationship between Dick Curtis and Ernie Adams would have been worth exploring, but it is used purely as a plot catalyst.
Cobb has a fair part as another of Curtis's henchmen, but he isn't as impressive as usual — admittedly his dialogue isn't much to talk about either!
The Sons of the Pioneers sing a couple of songs and Pat Brady provides the comic relief — but they are all below form too.
On the other hand, Iris Meredith looks very attractive, but - wouldn't you just know it! - her part is surprisingly small.
The direction is little more than routine, but fortunately there's just enough action, with a bit of location work thrown in, to satisfy the fans.
