In another of the series of westerns that Johnny Mack Brown and Raymond Hatton did for Monogram, the two US Marshals are undercover once again. It's the pattern apparently of all the westerns they did in this series.
Brown pretends he's an outlaw to infiltrate the gang that Edmund Cobb the saloon owner is running. They're getting a little too good at holdups so it's obvious Cobb has an inside man. Hatton takes over the town bootmaker's shop and with absolutely no experience in the trade makes a holy mess of it.
Law Men is a competently made B western that I'm sure the Saturday matinée crowd of kids enjoyed immensely.
