Montana Incident

Whip Wilson (Whip Wilson) and his friend Dave Connors (Rand Brooks) survey the range for a railroad line, and are ordered to get out of the territory by Clara Martin (Peggy Stewart), the cold-eyed and unscrupulous older daughter of a retired cattlemen who owns the entire town and land around it. He allows his oldest daughter, Clara (Peggy Stewart) to run things, unknown to him, she has been milking the town dry with the aid of her fiancee (Bruce Edwards). Clara wants to stop the railroad surveying at any cost as the coming of the railroad will bring an end to her rule of the territory.

Whip Wilson doesn't brandish a whip here as he and his sidekick have to put up with a hard nosed lady who is aided by her fiancée. Wilson is ok as the hero, his dialogue towards the end is well expressed, but he can be a bit bland and stiff. Rand Brooks as his sidekick has a good chemistry with Wilson, which helps. But it's the Peggy Stewart show all the way and gives this standard oater a lift, making it quite involving. It just needed a longer time to flesh out the character and plot twists.
