Bar 20 Justice

A friend is murdered and Hoppy puts off a trip to New York and heads to help save a mining business for his friend's daughter. Outlaw miners have been stealing ore from Ann Dennis' mine. Hoppy spends much of his time running around in the mine shafts tracking down the crooks, but that's after some snooping, sending Gabby become the night watch man - who pretends to have hearing problems - and a secret mine is discovered.

This Hoppy is fairly standard but entertaining enough especially when it ventures down the mine shaft. Nice compact mineshaft which looks claustrophobic- there's a lack of action and more investigation. Shootouts occur later into the western. Lesley Selander directs efficiently. The actress who plays the widow looks like she's reading from an autocue.
