Featured review
Has a Nostalgic Appeal
This film essentially begins with a cattleman by the name of "Gabby Whitaker" (George 'Gabby' Hayes) noticing that some sheep have wondered onto the land that belongs to the cattle company he works with. So, quite naturally, he chases them back onto the neighboring sheep ranch by shooting his pistol in the air. Needless to say, this attracts the attention of those working on the sheep ranch and when they go to investigate where the shots are coming from that find Gabby standing over the dead body of the owner of that very sheep ranch. Quickly drawing their pistols, they escort Gabby to the sheriff's office to be held for murder. Fortunately, after a quick investigation, they find that the victim was killed by a rifle--and since Gabby didn't have one on him--he is released. Even so, the situation becomes quite tense after that and, fearing a range war between the cattlemen and sheepherders, a cowboy named "Roy Rogers" (Roy Rogers) is sent from the cattleman corporation in Chicago to investigate. Yet in spite of his reputation as a cattleman, Roy soon discovers that it holds little value at this particular time--and things are only going to get worse. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was pretty a standard Western film that one would see at the local theater during this particular time in history with Roy Rogers, Dale Evans (as "Jill Delaney") and George 'Gabby' Hayes being household names to most fans of the genre. And while I would admit that this film is quite dated, it still has a nostalgic appeal to it and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
