      Chito Rafferty: [to Bob as his father rides away with Laura] I don't trust him. You better be careful - you're gonna have a mother instead of a wife!

    Best of the B's
    RKO's post World War II Tim Holt/Richard Martin series produced some of the best B-westerns of the '40s, and this was one, supposedly the first movie in which a father and son played a father and son (former leading man Jack Holt and son Tim). Way ahead of its time, it deals with everything from the generation gap to spouse abuse. The hero even falls for a married woman, normally a no-no in formula series westerns. What's more, he doesn't win a single fight -- but he still comes out on top. Great cast, including Paul Hurst (Monte Hale's movie sidekick), Robert Bray (of future "Lassie" fame), Steve Brodie, and Richard Martin as Chito Jose Gonzales Bustamonte Rafferty, a role he had in three series (the earlier ones being with Robert Mitchum and James Warren).
