I remember playing "Cowboys and Indians" and "Cops and Robbers" as a kid, and when either my brother and I got "shot", we would emote the feeling if it just like they do here. Rolling around, the heart clutch, exaggerated mouth movements, the whole kit n' caboodle. This Z grade oater sets up its big city writer of western stories here, invited to a "real" western ranch where the hostess decides to teach him a lesson by having the whole countryside involved in a series of pranks meant to humiliate him. It gets out of hand when real incidents occur, giving the alleged city slicker rider (Tom Tyler) the chance to become a real western hero.
This is so low budget and seemingly amateurish, it seems like some local yokel rented film equipment, hired their own community to appear in it, and used real life country settings to film it in. That part would have been fine, but there's an idiotic story and some of the most amateurish acting I've seen on film. Tyler was a moderate western star of some note, but he is surrounded by a cast that couldn't get by in the most unprofessional of community theater companies. Static camera work and blurry action scenes only serve to make this more unwatchable. The only mystery here is how this managed to get a cinema release where its flaws must have been much more obvious.
