You really have to see Veda Ann Borg deliver that line above to Bob Steele; I think it actually took him by surprise. For that split second I think he really wanted to be a BAD man, if you know what I mean.
Well nothing here that hadn't been done a few hundred times before and since. Steele and much older partner Hoot Gibson team up to bring down a gang of criminals by going undercover, with Steele working his way into outlaw Slade's (Mauritz Hugo) gang. His character, also named Bob, goes way over the top with the coffee routine when he first hits the local saloon. It's actually quite comical.
I don't know if it was my hearing or not, but it seemed to me Gibson was called a number of different names in the story. I thought I heard him called Farnsworth, Foxworth, Rockford, and Parkford by the time everyone decided on that last one. Could be just me as some of these old oaters have dialog that's hard to follow.
The finale is staged as a shootout in a dark cabin and that made things difficult to follow. Steele and the sheriff (Bud Osborne) put the bad guys away for good, after an earlier twist in which Hoot's character takes a slug to the gut. I thought he was a goner but he managed to hang on to make two more flicks with Steele - "The Utah Kid" and "Trigger Law", also for Monogram Pictures.
