Sagebrush Law

Before he enlisted for the duration, Tim Holt shot six of his RKO western series to keep his fans happy during the Second World War. This is one of them.

Tim gets a message that his father the banker needs help and heads off, followed by sidekick Cliff a Edwards. When they arrive, they discover dad is dead. But there are suspicious circumstances, a missing set of books and pretty Joan Barclay to investigate.

The movie moves at a good clip, thanks to director Sam Nelson, better known as an assistant director on movies like MEMBER OF THE WEDDING and SPARTACUS. Edwards clowns well and sings a couple of songs and if it isn't a great movie, the fights and riding are up to par.
