Catch those menacing clouds at beginning as Roy heads back to help his adoptive family catch up with sneaky cattle rustlers. But first Roy has to get past loving eye of his adoptive sister, the positively adorable Gale Storm. Actually, the three ladies play a big part in the plot, and thus are more than the usual break from ugly guys. And a salute to the statuesque Lynne Carver who makes a strong lordly impression as the lady rancher. Too bad she died young.
Overall, the oater's a departure from the usual cowboy flick, most of the action coming at the end, with more intrigue than gun play as Roy and family try to figure out who's who among the rustlers. Then too, don't expect usual clowning from Gabby who's instead a serious leader of the posse. Also, catch the nifty feminist version of a cowboy showdown as the girls pursue one another in their new 1941 car models. I imagine the writers had fun with that departure. Anyway, it's an entertaining hour with Roy and Trigger, and I'm not surprised our hero soon hooked up with lifetime partner Dale Evans having enjoyed the attention of her look-a-like, the sparkling Gale Storm otherwise known as TV's My Little Margie. So, git-em-up, cowboy! On to Cheyenne!
