To find his long lost kid brother and avenge the murder of his parents, John Wayne - with sidekick
Gabby Hayes - follows the only lead he's got - a man named Gentry (Lloyd
Whitlock), who once took over his dad's ranch. So he poses as a killer -
who he found dead in the desert, & who Gentry is expecting as helping
hand - & infiltrates Gentry's gang. Gentry, meanwhile, is
planning to take over Lafe McKee's ranch by killing him & marrying
his daughter Virginia Brown Faire. But as Gentry makes John Wayne a
vital part of his plan, it fails of course, & Wayne not only gets the
final proof that Gantry is his father's killer (he recognizes him by his
maniacal laugh) but also finds his lost brother. In an action-packed
showdown, Gentry is accidently shot by his own men.
Wayne's B-Western for Monogram were all pretty good, as is this one,
an early vendetta-Western with great outdoor scenery, a fast pace &
great action - mainly staged by Yakima Canutt, who also plays the
villain's main henchman. His best stunt in this one is probably a jump
from a galloping horse through a closed window. |
