Tex Ritter gets arrested for murder and horse rustling but it's all a case of mistaken identity. The town's big-shot gets him off the hook and offers a horse-trading deal to Tex with the intention of double crossing him just like he did the Tombstone Kid.... the guy Tex was mistaken for. This western has some great old-timey musical numbers by Ray Whitely and his Range Ramblers and some not-so-great ones from Tex. There is also an annoying kid. This really put me off the movie which wasn't all that good to begin with, and yeah.... the kid sings a song. But, at just under an hour in length, it's not much of a commitment and some of the songs and singers make the whole thing delightfully dumb in a "so-bad-it's-marginally bearable" kind of way. You can get the dvd for about $6 from Alpha and the print quality is acceptable. I love that art deco "Grand National Pictures" animated clock logo at the start and finish of the movie. I gave it a 3 out of 10.
