From start to finish, it's an action filled Hoppy programmer. There's more flying fists among the scores of cowboys than any movie I think I've seen. So what if the combat's not too convincing, after all it is a matinee oater. I just hope the guys were well paid.
So can Hoppy save the deserving farm settlers from the greedy land barons who want the rich forrest area for their own. It's a more involved plot than most, what with all the land ownership technicalities in the background.
Happily, most filming is done in the scenic Sierras that furnishes a rugged backdrop to all the action. And catch goofus Andy Clyde's duking it out with the tough old broads - won't see anything like that in A-movies of the time.
All in all, Hoppy gets less screentime than usual but is his usual attention-getting self. And note actress Hall as the nervy Julie. Her demanding role as owner of the disputed land amounts to a lot more than the usual oater eye-candy. And she does so well, she could qualify for big-time flicks. Anyway, see what you think.
Lastly, looks to me like the producers popped for a bigger budget than usual, what with all the location shots and bigger cast of mainly good actors. So, catch up with Hoppy and funster Clyde if you can. Meanwhile, Ride 'em, cowboy!
