Limited but entertaining old western
13 December 2016
An undercover cavalryman attempts to track down who is behind attacks on wagon trains.

This a typical western of it's time a short running time, stilted dialogue and a simple good versus bad story line. From a personal point of view I loved the crackly old cinematography featuring an Indian attack on the wagons.

It's a fast moving story and as predictable as night following day. You're never in any doubt that the bad guys will get their comeuppance and this is exactly what the audiences of the time wanted. It features the legendary stuntman Yakima Canutt and a good performance from the child actor Bobby Nelson. Rex Lease is no John Wayne but he makes an amiable enough hero.

This is strictly for fans of old westerns but I enjoyed it and thought this was pretty entertaining.
