    Marshal Monte Hale saves the day !

    Monte Hale had a brief Post-WWII career as a singing cowboy. In this series entry, the affable crooner plays a Marshal who rides into save the locals from a land-purchase scam that comes to the attention of the local press.

    The script, acting and budget of this programmer were mediocre at best. Even the musical interludes seem a bit weak here.In my opinion, the best part of this film was the casting of veteran character actor Jason Robards Sr in a key role.

    These types of films were cranked out by the studios by the hundreds....... this one does not stand out from the rest. For Monte Hale fans only.
