Bob Steele and George ( Gabby ) Hayes made several westerns together in the early 30's . This is perhaps their best chemistry in any of those films. This is the old 'someone in the trunk on the top of the stage ' plot. My first viewing of this plot is in a J.B. Warner silent from 1921 . It was used several times in the 30's , but fell into disuse during the 40's .However this is the first use of a girl to do it. The only real explanation missing is why she did the robbery except it was her father . This western moves at a fast pace as do all of Robert Bradbury-directed westerns . No big news that Bradbury is Steele's real life father .Doris Hill was one of those ' plain Jane " western heroines that would grace the 'B' westerns for 1 or 2 films and disappear. The action moves continuously around the the main focus and doesn't deviate with some meaningless sub-plots which is another of Bradbury's directorial characteristics . Steele is as likable as ever . Well worth the time to view .
