Hoppy's friend Dennis owns a rich gold mine. Frazier who owns the adjoining mine and wants the Dennis mine, has Dennis killed. Hoppy steps in to take over running the Dennis mine and learns Frazier's men sneak into and work the Dennis mine at night. Hoppy captures one of Frazier's men only to be captured in return by Frazier and left to die in a burning building. —Maurice VanAuken <mvanauken@a1access.net>

Windy makes this one very funny.
A mine owner is having horrible luck...or so it seems. There have been several deaths in the mine in one week alone. Later, you know it's no accident when the owner himself is viciously killed by a gang of baddies. Now that Ann is running the mine, Hoppy and his pals volunteer to help her and figure out what's REALLY happening.
The best part of this film is, by far, watching Windy as the mine's guard. Hopalong knows that his foreman is actually in league with the baddies...and he sends him a man who seems like the absolutely WORST watchman in history. Why? Because Windy pretends to be profoundly deaf in order to convince the foreman that his henchmen can work at night without discovery. Now I have a deaf daughter and I am hard of hearing myself...but I didn't find this tacky or politically incorrect. It was very funny the way he played it up...and he was just wonderful.
Overall, a very good AND funny installment of the Hopalong Cassidy franchise. Well worth your time. And, if you want to see it, YouTube has tons of these films...all fully restored and in pristine condition.
