User Reviews

An Enterprising Group of Outlaws

Although Johnny Mack Brown stars in this film he does not play the title role. That part falls to young Marshall Reed who is The Texas Kid.

Brown is a United States Marshal who is assigned to break up the Scully gang of which it is rumored Reed is a member of. Reed is quite the wild youth, but Brown who knows him from way back when has faith in him even if Brown's partner Raymond Hatton is dubious of the proposition.

The gang that Brown thinks Reed is active in has got quite a diverse set of activities. The leader who is the head of the gang and who Brown and Hatton are looking for is also trying to get title to a ranch that Cyril Ring owns. Quite the enterprising group.

This Johnny Mack Brown western is below par, his westerns are usually a lot better.
