A surprisingly enjoyable entry from Poverty Row outfit M. H. Hoffman Inc., which has Hoot Gibson as a dodgy salesman of law books who, despite not being the qualified lawyer he claims to be, agrees to represent a man wrongly accused of holding up a stagecoach. Gibson displays a surprising amount of charm in the role, indicating that the endless parade of soulless, no-budget westerns he starred in probably robbed him of the opportunity to show his true worth as an actor.
