A mysterious masked bandit, the Night Rider, is roaming the countryside, robbing innocent ranchers of their earnings. Good thing that Jim Blake (Harry Carey) is around, who together with wannabe caballero Manuel (Julian Rivero) & tourist Altoony (Gabby Hayes) sets out to capture the gangster, but to that end he has to pose as an outlaw, & only the sheriff (Walter Shumway), an old frioend of his, knows that he is really an undercover lawman.

Barton (Tom London), saloon owner, part-time badman & employee of the Night Rider on the other hand sees Jim as a bag full of opportunities & gets him a job at the ranch of paralized Dan Rogers (Jack Weatherby) & his sister Barbara (Elinor Fair) - just so he can have an eye on him. & at that ranch, Jim finds first clues that might lead him to the night Rider, including a secret passageway leading from the ranch to an abandoned mine.

Barton however finds a way to pin the next crime of the Night Rider on Jim & gets him arrested - which isn't really that much of a deal since the sheriff knows Jim's identity anyway & not only lets him escape but also helps him fake some evidence that Jim really is the Night Rider - & because Barton & gang have no idea about the identity of the real Night Rider, they believe him, not knowing that the tables are turned on them ... & soon they are all rounded up by the sheriff & his posse - which even gets the real Nuight Rider out of his hiding place, and it is ... paralyzed Dan of course who isn't paralized at all of course but has only faked his handicap to escape suspicion. & after a wild chase, he is brought to justice too, & all that is left for Jim to do is to get romantically involved with Barbara ...

 

In the 1910's & 20's, Harry Carey (or Cheyenne Harry, as he was then called) was a popular cowboy actor, in the 1930'a however, when the genre in general took a plunge, he fell - despite the occasional big picture like Trader Horne - on harder times. With Carey though the reason was not that he couldn't adapt to the new sound medium - his acting style actually translated beautifully into the talkies - but because he was quite visibly a man past his prime. So Carey had to hook up with smaller outfits like Supreme who produced their movies on the cheap & could hope to still make enough money back thanks to Carey's drawing power. The cheapness shows though in a rather careless direction, sloppy action & a rather boring & incoherent screenplay. Harry Carey however is charismatic enough to still carry the weak movie, a charisma that would grant him character roles even after his days of being a leading man were definitely over.
