Billy Carson (Buster Crabbe) and Fuzzy (Al St.John) are burdened with
the task to take care of Oxford-educated Henry Trenton (John Meredith),
who has inherited a local abandoned farm and wants to get it back on track
again - much to the dismay of local cattle baron Blackie (Charles King)
though, who is actually big in the rustling business, and who has used
Trenton's farmlands to hide his stolen cattle, using ghost stories to keep
nosey locals away. Blackie's niece Kaye (Jean Carlin) on the other hand
takes a liking to Trenton and soon takes the job of housekeepers at his
farm. However, Blackie is not a ruthless killer, so he tries to find
another place to hide the cattle - and instead meets Jimmy Slade (Zon
Murray), who actually is a ruthless killer, and who soon enough
puts Trenton's farm under siege and takes Trenton and Billy prisoner in
order to kill them, and when Blackie protests, he kills him to take over
his gang. However, Fuzzy manages to create enough commotion to distract
Jimmy Slade's men long enough to free Billy and Trenton, and when Slade
notices the tide has turned against him, he rushes to the nearest city,
accuses Billy of rustling and tries to form a lynchmob to have him killed.
But Billy arrives on the scene to soon for that plan to succeed, and
ultimately all the baddies are taken care of, and Trenton (!) gets the
girl. Pretty average low budget Western, helped by one of the
most likeable and competent cowboy/sidekick couples (Buster Crabbe, Al
St.John), but marred by John Meredith's rather unconvincing and less than
amusing performance as an English gentleman and Jimmy Aubrey's less than
funny valet/sidekick. Plotwise, the film is pretty much the usual though,
and when it comes to pacing and action, you get what you expect froma PRC-series-Western.
