Born and raised on a ranch that he eventually inherits from his dad, "Tim Clark" (Tim McCoy) is despondent over the fact that he has to turn it over to a man named "Bob Russell" (Wheeler Oakman) who reneged on a promise concerning the payment of a loan given to him. So with only a horse and a little bit of money left he leaves the ranch and sets out for an old silver mine in the hope of possibly striking it rich there. Two years pass and being a corrupt and greedy person Bob Russell has now set his sights on a ranch owned by Tim's sweetheart "Betty Owen" (Alice Day). So using the same dirty tactics as before he makes it as difficult as possible for Betty to make ends meet and when she is struggling financially he offers her a loan-and then demands payment. However, it's at this time that Tim shows up with some money and an incriminating story which Bob Russell simply cannot allow to be told. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a solid, old-fashioned Western which manages to stand the test of time for the most part. To that extent, although John Wayne (as Tim's ranch hand "Duke") is featured his role is definitely secondary to that of both Tim McCoy and Wheeler Oakman. Be that as it may, as stated earlier this was a decent film all things considered and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
