John Wayne becomes friends with a tribe of Indians after helping a young Indian boy but it all starts when Duke thinks he killed his best friend, played by Frank Ball. He goes into seclusion and this time has more whiskers than Gabby Hayes. The heroine Lucile Browne does well in her romantic interest in Duke but unaware of his role in her father's murder. Of course the West's favorite villains, Leroy Mason plays his role to the hilt in creating a love triangle. There's a great folk dancing and a cow milking contest scene with favorite western character actress Fern Emmett and silent screen vaudeville comic Jack Duffy. As another reviewer noted, he looked like Pappy Yokum from Li'l Abner. As always there is great stunt work of Yakima Canutt. One of the first times Wayne got to run the gamut of dramatic emotions as a multi-dimensional character. Of course he did them brilliantly from love, anger, overwrought, and of course "Texas Terror".
