A pretty good be Western has Bob Steele once again as the alternative universe version of the famous outlaw, dealing with the crooked land grabber who is determined to be the most powerful man in the whole southwest and doing his best to destroy anyone who tries to stop him. Along with his Sidekicks which includes the outlandish Al "Fuzzy" St. John, Billy tries to evadea bounty hunting sheriff while doing his best to stop the corruption which has caused the murder of a decent newspaper man who was trying to expose the truth when he was shot to death. St. John ends up the deputy in a town with no sheriff, and is a buffoon from the start, given one visual gag with his face all corked up that is truly unnecessary and quite tacky.
Phyllis Adair provides the romantic subplot, not by much, as the bullied land owner afraid of standing up to the villain in fear of her own life and losing what she's gained, so it first, she seems like she's not on the right side of the law. But it is obvious where the plot is going, and in spite of all the old b-western cliches which includes a few boring horse chasings and the villain doing his best to lie to avoid getting caught, as well as the comic sidekick not really getting the intended laughs for force pratfalls. But the main plot is a good one, keeping the audience correct and spedity elements that stretches very short film nearly a good 10 minutes that could have made much more of an impression.
