User Reviews

Eddie Dean and some stolen gold ........

Eddie Dean appears here in another western programmer from the late 1940's. Dean attempts to put an end to a gold theft ring, and is believed to be killed in the process. His sidekick , Soapy Ates poses as a lawman and Eddie plays a bad-guy. Along the way, a few western songs are crooned by the singin' cowboy.

This was a standard Eddie Dean film...... with a standard formula. There are no big surprises here, but Dean fans will like it well enough. I always liked to see Eddie Dean play a villain...... as he had done in a few films years before.

Look fast for singer JD Sumner, who later became a famous Gospel singer and the leader of Elvis' backup group !!
