Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Veteran bad guys, Ted Adams, Bud Osborne and George Chesebro, are stealing dufferish old Lafe McKee's mares and blaming handsome white stallion, Pirate, for leading them away. Are we really expected to believe that a rancher of his vast experience would not notice that the fence was cut using wire cutters?Veteran good guy, Bob Steele,sets out to find the missing horses, expose the crooks and woo McKee's pretty daughter, Phyllis Adair. Comic Sidekick James Aubrey pulls faces and talks about his rheumatism.Just about OK "B" western but nothing more. The Alpha print is a particularly nice one and the sound is crisp which probably makes it a lot more watchable than it otherwise would be. Bob Steele has done better!
