Never Shoot At The Hero's Horse!
12 May 2021
When storekeeper Ken Maynard agrees to help the bad guys led by Fred Kohler steal the moey out of the safe, part of the deal is that he get his brother, Sheriff Ken Maynard out of the way. When the sheriff proposes to go after the gang in te morning when he can read the trail, there's a revolt, and he's out of a job and locked in a closet. It's up to him to break out, rescue Cecilia Parker and his brother -- who's changed his mind when he's offered such a small cut . Fortunately, he still has Tarzan the Wonder Horse on his side.

It's a bit of a stretch for Maynard to be playing two roles, and although he's not the world's best actor, does a creditable job. Director Alan James goes for big effects and noisy gun battles; while these go on for a bit too long, his training as a film editor keep things within reason and should please fans of B westerns.
