COME ON DANGER is one of a bunch that Tim Holt seems to have shot in a hurry before enlisting during World War II. He is a Texas Ranger in this one, investigating some rustling, and turns up a corrupt town.
It's not one of his better ones. While the camera-work by Harry Wild is topnotch, this short 'un is eked out with some cornball humor and songs ("Come On, Danger!") played by his sidekicks, Ray Whitely and Lee White, falling right into the vanilla assistant and the Old Coot mode. Frances Neal is good as the rancher whom he helps.
Holt's westerns usually had the muted love interest written as women who are fairly capable themselves, although they were sometimes played by starlets at the beginning of their careers and not quite up to the writing. Miss Neal is fairly good in the role. However, this movie, while watchable, is not one of the stronger entries in the series.
