Jimmy wakely plays... jimmy wakely. He and sidekick cannonball help out the croft family when their stages are getting held up. It's just okay. Lots of really rough edits. The picture quality is surprisingly good, for such an old western. Wakely stands like a cardboard character... never seems to know what to do with his hands. And is a better singer than actor. And why did he start shooting from so far away when the stage was being held up? Kind of a plot hole pot hole. Not much of a story.. can't really recommend this one. There are so many better westerns, with better actors. Directed by derwin abrahams. Interesting... imdb thinks this is 57 minutes, but the tcm version is only 55 minutes. Were another two minutes cut out? Incidentally, there were also films with the same title in 1928 and 1929, but those seem to be lost.
