Two Texas Rangers have their worlds rocked by a wrongfully accused female bandit.
Hollywood cowboy heroes are famous for having loyal steeds with colorful names. The Lone Ranger had Silver, and Tonto had Scout. Roy Rogers (I) had Trigger (I). Wild Bill Hickok from the 1950s television series rode Buckshot. Hopalong Cassidy rode a white stallion named Topper the Horse. Gene Autry (I)'s loyal horse was Champion (II), and Tim Holt (I) often rode a golden palomino named Lightning. However, George O'Brien (I)'s four-legged friend didn't follow this western tradition. His horse was named Mike.
A four-minute-long scene near the end of this film is an exact copy--line for line and shot for shot--of a scene in Tim Holt (I)'s Come On Danger (1942. It begins with the hero and two sidekicks listening outside a window as the villain discusses murdering the heroine, followed by a fight in which the villain's cook comes out of the kitchen and disrupts the fight by cutting the rope that holds up a suspended wagon-wheel chandelier. In "Come on Danger" the hero is Holt and his sidekicks are Ray Whitley and Lee 'Lasses' White. In this film the hero is O'Brien and his sidekicks are Ray Whitley (again)--and none other than Tim Holt. In both versions, Holt pretends to be injured and staggers past two guards, then he falls over while his two companions jump the distracted guards.
Both George O'Brien (I) and co-star Tim Holt (I) were decorated veterans of World War II who served in the Pacific. O'Brien achieved the rank of Commander in the U.S. Navy, and Holt served as a bombardier aboard a B-29.
The only western in which both George O'Brien (I) and Tim Holt (I) appeared, even though O'Brien went on to star in over a dozen more after this one. Holt took over the reigns of "B" western stardom in 1940 with his first two starring westerns, Wagon Train (1940) and The Fargo Kid (1940), (filmed simultaneously)--the same year O'Brien made his last starring B movie western, Triple Justice (1940).
Even though Tim Holt (I) co-stars in this movie, George O'Brien (I) is the star and the hero. O'Brien was a very popular western hero during the 1930s and 1940s, and he eventually received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Ironically, Holt was never given this same honor, in spite of the 30+ westerns he made, including his role in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948).
"Captain Jack Steele: You were right about Sanderson being a big man in this town, Happy. Happy: He's a plenty tough hombre too, if you ask me. I don't blame that old rancher for what he said and done. Captain Jack Steele: You know, Sanderson doesn't appeal to me anymore than he does to you; but, he's probably acting within his rights. You know, the law makes us do a lot of unpleasant things sometimes. Like going after this Alvarez girl."
"Captain Jack Steele: How'd you happen to get mixed up with this gang, anyway? Larry Corwin: Oh, a man who likes trouble and fighting usually ends up among his own kind. Captain Jack Steele: Sometimes. Sometimes there's a girl factored in."
