Plot

[edit]

One of the Allan "Rocky" lane series of B-westerns, this has a cast of characters that go beyond the simple hero-villain plots. Steve Darrell, a busy character actor listed seventh in the cast (even below Rocky's horse), is actually the movie's central character: a man tapped to replace a murdered sheriff. When the bad guys realize he's a reformed outlaw, they think they can blackmail him into helping them. Rocky figures it out first, and they join forces. Harold Goodwin stands in for the usual action heavy 'Roy Barcroft' in this one, and has such lines as (when he's supposed to rub out a captured outlaw who might talk): "Too bad, I was just gettin' to know the guy !"
