Ken Maynard and Nat Pendleton get out of the army and head out to the wide open spaces. Soon they're in trouble, but Ken agrees to ride Ivy Merton's horse, Tarzan, in the big race. The roblem is that not only is Maynard wanted for escaping jail, but Alan Roscoe has a note payable on demand, with Tarzan as the security, and he's demanding now!
It's a comedy western, but director Forrest Sheldon directs his actors at such a slow speed of line readings -- or perhaps they can't speak any faster -- that it's rather dull in that department. Even so, Ted McCord's camerawork is excellent, and his shooting the background out around Lone Pines is quite lovely. He had been in the camera department since 1917, and by the end of the decade would be shooting major motion pictures, picking up three Oscar nominations in his career. He would die in 1976, aged 75.
