Bob Steele is drifting when he comes across sheriff Ed Cassidy, badly wounded after a fight with rustlers. He bandages the wounds and gets him back into town. then heads on out and runs into the outlaws with their cattle and innocently gets a job with them. The deputies come across them and the rustlers scatter, leaving Bob. The lead deputy, Jack Rockwell, is one of the gang. He brands Bob and orders him out of the county -- thinking tha will keep him from identifying his confederates. However, Bob finds himself led by chance deeper into the proceedings....
It's one of Bob's last movies with his father, Robert Bradbury directing (they would do only four more together), and it's nicely written, with a couple of nice fight scenes and some good riding. Charles King, who seems ubiquitous in 1930s B westerns, has a sizable role as the father of ingenue Margaret Marquis, member of the gang and murder victim. Although Bob doesn't display the dramatic athleticism of his roles five years early, it's another solid B western for him.
