An American Western; A story about a frontiersman who poses as an outlaw to infiltrate a band of outlaws in order to get close to their ringleader who murdered his father. This film is a remake of Partners of the Trail (1931). John Wayne has authority but labours through as the cowboy on a mission. The film fails to create enough atmosphere dispite the robust support from George "Gabby" Hayes as the sidekick. The plot is too convoluted and the chase scenes and shoots out feel lifeless because the characters are not allowed to develop fully.
