Robert North Bradbury outdid himself, creating a story and screenplay to star his son, Bob Steele, and providing swift direction to sustain interest throughout the proceedings. For devotees of the fights which are an integral part of western pictures, experts Bob Steele and Charlie King (the latter given a good role here) provide a lively one. Moreover, the story about a young cowboy's receiving title to a ranch in the Panamint in payment of a debt unfolds with the participation of a slew of renowned western character actors - Milburn Morante as a sidekick, Earl Dwire as sheriff, Ed Cassidy as a despicable outlaw (with Eddie Cobb as his associate), Jack Rockwell as an honest homesteader, Bob McKenzie as a gambler, and many others, all warmly remembered by devotees of the genre.
Catherine Cotter, a former child performer on Los Angeles radio, who appeared in stage plays in Southern California, makes an attractive and interesting leading lady. She appeared in few films, despite showing considerable promise.
Mr. Bradbury provides enough twists of the plot to enable suspense, and keeps things moving, the physical action augmented by well-inserted stock footage. Nothing is lacking but the musical scoring which, within a short time, would make most well-produced westerns more exciting for audiences during action sequences. As it stands, this entry in Bob Steele's series for Supreme is a fine one which reflects his father's expertise.
