Not a bad little effort from the Duke, this - providing you can overlook his rather terrible song at the beginning. He arrives into town amidst a shoot-out and next thing he is involved in helping the marshal (Gabby Hayes) to investigate some dodgy, lethal, rodeo-rigging. The use of actuality rodeo footage rather spoiled this for me, but probably saved a few bucks which they invested in a good fun soundtrack that accompanied this fast-paced fifty minutes of adventure.
