Mesmer of the west
22 July 2017
Earle Hodgins one prolific character actor in mostly westerns has one of his best roles in this Hopalong Cassidy western. He runs a medicine show with Virginia Belmont serving as the female come on for the red blooded males.

One of his concoctions makes one lose their will and be vulnerable to Hodgin's mesmerizing ways. When they're under his spell Hodgins gets them to do all kinds of things in the case of Lucky Jenkins steal the money that Hoppy got for driving the cattle to market, Bar 20 and other herds.

Hodgins always played all kinds of rustic characters and was in several previous Cassidy westerns. Here that's a guise, he's a slick article, but nobody is slicker than Hopalong Cassidy.

This is one of the better latter day Hoppy features. And for once Andy Clyde didn't stumble into any trouble.
