Bob Steele and George Hayes - in early 'Gabby' mode - have been knocking around the West, mostly in trouble through no fault of their own. They decide to cross the border before annoying Marshall Lafe McKee can catch up with them and settle down in California on a ranch, as soon as Steele can find a pretty girl for a wife. Once they're in California, they immediately find Doris Hill, and a bit of a mystery. Cash payrolls keep vanishing out of the box on the stage, no matter how many drivers the sheriff arrests. Since the express company manager is a friend of Hayes', the fellows take the job... and get into trouble.
It's another of the pretty good B westerns written and directed by Steele's father, Robert N. Bradbury, taking advantage of Steele's youthful athleticism. He does a nice dive in the water, and if you've never encountered this particular technique of emptying a cash box before, you'll enjoy it.
Some of the IMDb reviewers don't care much for Miss Hill. She had entered the movies in 1926, and big things were expected of her; she was a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1929. Sometimes things don't work out, and after 34 features and a couple of shorts, she retired to private life, two marriages and two children. She died in 1976, aged 70.
