Confusing western. Starring two big names of the westerns... tim holt and harry carey. Cheesy fake accent by evelyn brent. Clarence kolb. For some reason, the town makes well-known criminal bill barker a judge. His first mission is to track down the tonto kid. But when they meet up, they seem like old buddies, rather than hunter and prey. Throw in a sub plot where barker's daughter doesn't know she's his kin. Now throw in a monkey, for cuteness, or something. Most of the story is barker shooting, bragging, and blustering. Not really sure what the main plot is... just the life of barker, i guess. Too many subplots going on. Directed by glenn tryon. Looks like he didn't do much acting after talkies started, but maybe that's just a coincidence. Did mostly writing and producing after that. Based on the story by clarence young. This was a pretty early role for holt; he died young of cancer.
