★★★★ · Hoot Gibson In Another Good Western · porterville · 2011-07-31
Hoot Gibson in another entertaining western. Sally Blane plays the love interest - intelligent and very attractive. Audio was low in the last half of the movie.
★★★★ · Sally Blane · jimelena · 2005-11-02
Sally Blane is Loretta Youngs' older sister. They look a lot alike and pretty much did the same acting jobs. The local bankers steal their own money and frame the coach driver for the crime. But don't worry, Hoot saves the day. I'm a Hoot fan so this is a good movie for me. If you are not a Hoot fan then it's just another low budget oater.

even if the sound is to light in the 2nd act.. You might need to learn old movie lip reading, but it's not tough to figure out.. Hoot Gibson was a pretty derned good actor/cowpoke

Treacley Hoot Gibson vehicle that has him as a sort of a leader of a gang of misfits being blamed for everything. A crooked Bank manager and his partner take advantage of this and have him to blame for a robbery they're planning so they can keep the money + the insurance for themselved! Can Hoot figure all this out? Pretty bad, no background music, bad editing, (you can see scenes of Hoot waiting for his cue) and so on.
