Tim McCoy is tracking down the man who emptied his gun and then forced him into a duel. He runs into Alberta Vaughn, whose father's ranch is being squeezed and takes a hand in the matter in this fine little B western.
Particularly pleasing is the participation of Vernon Dent. Dent had been a reliable member of Mack Sennett's troupe, playing businessmen and heavies; he would end his career playing the same sort of roles for Jules White's comedy unit at Columbia. Here, as a bartender, he gets to show off his fine singing voice and indulges in a pleasure duet with Colonel Tim. He's not comic relief, but plays a fine role. People often forget that these comic actors were first and foremost actors.
Wallace MacDonald also has a nice role as Jughandle, who appears to be a lazy barfly. In fact, everyone is good. Director Ross Lederman, who rarely excelled, certainly handled this quick little movie well.
