I love that opening 'whisker-off' between Gabby and Si. So who's chin is hairiest: it's like two fuzzy bushes chomping away at each other. So where else can a former front row kid see such dated nonsense.
The oater's an early entry in the Roger's playbook, and is notable for being more plot-heavy than most. So will freight wagons have to pay a fee to use a part of the Santa Fe Trail that leads through the Texas Republic, 1836. Seems unscupulous General LaRue has seized Texas authority while President Sam Houston's conferring in Washington about possible Texas statehood. Now LaRue's set to get rich. Meanwhile, Roy serves as an officer in the Texas Rangers and smells a rat from above. Nonetheless, he's bound by authority to collect the fees, even as this causes hardship among the freight haulers. So what's he to do, follow conscience or authority.
There's one other distinguishing feature, and that's pretty girl Bishop who serves as more than usual eye-relief for us guys. Instead she's heavily threaded into the plot and thus shows her acting chops in a variety of moods, even dominant ones. (No wonder she was an oater favorite).
Anyway, Roy shares main screen time with other cast members. So don't look for a central focus on him. Also, hard-riding and fast-shooting come mainly at the end, but with few flying-fists anywhere. Nonetheless, it's a nifty Rogers entry, with something of a history lesson to boot. So enjoy.
