Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough talkies (and part-talkies) had been around for over three years at the time of this release, this is one of the first 100% talkie westerns produced by a "Poverty Row" producer (and Robert J. Horner was considered the bottom of the proverbial barrel on Gower Street). Low-budget producers had been unable to secure the limited amount of sound equipment available for talking picture production and had continued to grind out silent westerns with diminishing appeal well into 1930.

Featured review
Jack Perrin had all the makings of a cowboy star, except apparently the ability to act.
He wasn't the only one in this film: Every scene looks to be a first run-through.
Dialogue is hesitant, with stilted language, and misplaced pauses.
Probably even one rehearsal would have helped, but lack of budget money, or something, makes this look like an amateur production.
It's damaged even further by the posses' whooping and yelping when they're supposedly chasing some bad guy, and also apparently the same shots are used repeatedly.
Jack Perrin deserved better.
The audiences deserve better.
Probably this movie should be seen only by Westerns fans wanting to view every possible Western film, but don't expect much pleasure.
