User Reviews

very good Western movie

This is a very good example of the Buck Jones western movies of the 1920s and 1930s. Buck plays an honest cowboy trying to stop a crook. He is a man's man in the film without being overly macho. He is a pretty good actor.

The film has some clever humor without be silly.

No singing, thank goodness.

There is love interest that fits well in the story. The supporting actors play their characters well.

Buck has his horse Silver in the picture. Silver is a smart and handsome addition to the cast.

Watch this one when you get the chance.
