Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is one of 54 Hopalong Cassidy features produced by Harry Sherman, initially distributed by Paramount Pictures from 1935-1941, and then by United Artists 1942-1944, which were purchased by their star William Boyd for nationally syndicated television presentation beginning in 1948 and continuing thereafter for many years, as a result of their phenomenal success. Each feature was re-edited to 54 minutes so as to comfortably fit into a 60 minute time slot, with six minutes for commercials. It was not until 50 years later that, with the cooperation of Mrs. Boyd. i.e. Grace Bradley, that they were finally restored to their original length with their original opening and closing credits intact.
- GoofsAt 56 minutes, Hoppy is accidentally shot/grazed on the back of his right hand by the negligent discharge of a rifle. At 56:24, while lying on the ground, he looks at his hand, then draws his left gun from his holster with his left hand. At 56:29, with a gun still in his left hand as he rises from the ground, the left holster has had the gun replaced.

Featured review
Buck Colins heads a group of local ranchers who are trying to prevent the railroad from completing its line through their property. Till now they have been able to charge tolls on herds passing through. Hoppy goes undercover to expose them.
Britt Wood takes Windy's (Gabby Hayes) place as the comic sidekick, 'Speedy' McGinnis, and he is anything but speedy. A slow thinking character who takes his time coming up with one and one is two, and Deputy Fenton (Earl Hodgin) is another dopey character who falls for Hoppy's lasso trick, but they bring a lot of amusement amidst the usual gunplay, fast riding and the busy plot. It's a bit sluggish in places, but overall a steady entry. Solid shootout finale.
