Copyright 5 June 1932 by World-Wide Pictures. Inc. U.S. release through Sono Art-World-Wide Pictures: 15 June 1932. No New York opening. 6 reels. 61 minutes. (An Alpha DVD).
SYNOPSIS: Cowboy gets himself inside prison in order to ferret out the gang that killed his dad. COMMENT: Here we find young Bradbury directed by his dad in a plot that had loads of whiskers in 1932 (which didn't prevent even major producers like Warner Bros using its gimmick again and again throughout the thirties and forties).
Nonetheless, this entry has some novel features, including Hayes doing an Irish version of "Gabby" and a clowning Hayes and Peewee shooting at an effeminate cowpoke (a scene that would not have been tolerated by the censors a few years later).
Nancy Drexel, our heroine, is a peach, but greasy sidewinder Julian Rivero displays more ham than a delicatessen. And here's Bob Homans, exiled from the city streets or station house for once, now playing the western sheriff, a major role which he handles with aplomb.
However, from a fan's point of view, the picture's main assets are the rough-house action scenes. Certainly those with our Bob are nothing if not vigorously handled.
