pupzpupz I had this movie and now cannot obtain another!!!! It is a wonderful movie with a good plot. Plenty of horse riding and friendship. I would give almost anything to have this movie again. I really miss it. Julie Hayden is Lon Chaney's girlfriend, sweet and innocent, although she works in a saloon. Lon Chaney is a likable bandit and Tom Keene's best friend. Tom suspects Lon of wrongdoing, but doesn't know when he is chasing the bandits after a robbery that it is his friend that he shoots and kills. He tries to make it up to Julie Hayden who despises Tom for it. Lon's kid brother arrives to live with his only relative, Lon, but soon discovers he is dead. Tom takes him in and gives him love and a home, but Julie Hayden tries to win him over. Tom fears the truth will come out and the kid will be hurt. Edgar Kennedy is Tom's very funny side-kick (just love him) and plays a wonderful role in this pic. There is lots of adventure in this film with a happy outcome. I would love to have every one of Tom Keene's films, although some I have aren't up to his potential I like them anyway. Most, especially the early ones, are best. I think all the very early movies are best anyway. 30's oh, yes!

samhill5215 I can't begin to describe how many things are wrong with this film. The acting is stilted, stagy. The camera is still for the most part. In a gun fight scenes from another oater were edited in. Action is advanced by dialog not, well, action. The actors announce their intentions with the certainty they will come true. All scenes appear to be first takes. I guess they had no budget for retakes. This appears to take place in late 19th century West yet Julie Haydon who plays Doris, the ex-floozy, smokes a cigarette. That fact is never alluded to again although Doris becomes increasingly less provocative, more virginal, as if time were cleansing her of her past sins. Haydon is actually the one bright spot in this disaster and that's saying much because no actor could handle this material with a straight face. Her film career didn't amount to much although she was more successful on stage. Tom Keene, the male lead, was just plain awful but a good horseman. He could take a run at a horse, jump to a stirrup and straddle the horse in one smooth sequence. And I could go on. Yet this film is oddly captivating. I guess it's my attraction to bad movies. They're sort of like train wrecks; you can't take your eyes off them.

Paul Curtis I'm rapidly developing a taste for Tom Keene movies. He looks and sounds only a few notches away from being a live-action Dudley Do-Right...but somehow his performances work for me.This movie is intriguing to me because Tom's good pal (well-played by the regretful-looking Lon Chaney Jr.) is working for the outlaws and gets himself killed...then when Lon's little brother shows up, Lon's former girlfriend competes with Tom to raise the boy. The pretty girlfriend, by the way, used to work over at the dance hall, where business has dropped off since she left...one presumes she wasn't just dancing... So it's fun to see squeaky-clean Tom being buddies with a cheap crook and a retired dance hall gal.The final scenes are action-packed fun (made all the more odd and dated because of the speeded-up camera) and I got to cheer whenever Tom hit somebody. I like movies that make me cheer for the heroes. So YAY!

Arthur Hausner The title is a mystery in this mediocre western. Lovely Julie Haydon is a welcome plus in the film, which doesn't have much action until the end. Laughable scenes include a gang member getting shot at the start as he says "the big boss is..," an oft-used cliché, as well as Haydon overhearing the bandits' plans to rob a stagecoach. Well, I guess they didn't have wire-taps then, so how else could you get information? Keene has charisma, but this is strictly Saturday matinee material.
