Storyline
Charley Gray is about to be released from the state penitentiary after serving a long term for the robbery of a government gold shipment. The gold was never recovered, so the Texas Ranger chief has Ranger Panhandle Perkins planted in the prison as Charley's cell-mate in the hopes Charley will tell him where the loot is buried. Charley has a map of the location but is afraid it may be discovered so, while Panhandle is asleep, he draws a copy of it on the sole of Panhandle's foot. Charley then destroys the map but intends to keep "Panhandle" close to him upon their release from prison. Charley makes Panhandle accompany him back to the town where the rest of the hold-up gang is holed up. They go to the saloon owned by Steve Martin, also a member of the hold-up gang, but Charley was the one who buried the loot before he was captured and Charley has no intentions of divulging the location of the gold.

The Texas Rangers send agent Guy Wilkerson to prison in order to get close to armed robber Charles King and discover the whereabouts of $250,000 in stolen loot. Once paroled, the duo meet up with King's gang, followed soon after by Tex Ritter and Dave O'Brien, who's attempts to get close to the outlaws prove to be a bit harder.
This entry in Producers Releasing Corporation's Texas Rangers series has less of Tex and O'Brien than usual, but proves to be a good showcase for sidekick Wilkerson, who spends most of the movie with a treasure map inked on the bottom of his foot, as well as prolific bad guy King, who seems a little more sympathetic than usual, that is until he commits murder!
A fairly entertaining picture, this has an interesting story and a few good fistfights. It's too bad though, that PRC had a habit of skimping on the music, leaving Tex with only a couple of brief songs.
