    Cowboy Hi-Jinks with a Light Touch
    It's an agreeably boyish Tim Holt as the Kid, reminding me somewhat of a young Roy Rogers. The plot's fairly standard, bad guys wanting to get gold-bearing land from farmer and his family. But there're some nice touches, such as the sheriff discombobulated by the annoying singing, or the rug pull during the crooked card draw. However, unlike some guys, I wouldn't want the towering Glen Strange (the sheriff) mad at me. Anyway, there's some hard riding amid familiar LA area locale, along with a pretty good brawl, but not much gunplay,. Too bad we don't see more of the pretty girl (Drummond) instead of all the ugly guys. This may be the only oater I've seen with two comics instead of one. Actually, the programmer's a pretty good blend of typical humor plus cowboy roughhouse. I may be wrong, but it looks like Holt's having a good time making the movie. All in all, it's agreeable matinée fare for front-row kids of all ages.
