Storyline

- TriviaColorized and re-titled as "Guns Along the Trail" in 2007 by Legend Films.
- GoofsAt around 2 minutes into the actual film, we see John Wayne riding from town to town in southern Arizona searching for the Medicine Show that are suspect in a counterfeiting ring. We see Wayne riding through the desert and then are show a street scene just before his arrival. Unfortunately, in the scene we see snow covered mountains, towering pines and then we see 2 men walk from right to left wearing fur hats. Then we see a figure walk down the street wearing a Mountie hat, striped breeches (sometimes called banana pants) and what appears to be a short jacket or tunic, implying a Northwest Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman. The scene lasts about 8 seconds and then cuts again to Wayne as he rides into a desert town, still searching for the Medicine Show.

Featured review
At Least There're Wayne and Canutt
For fans of Lone Star-Wayne only. It's a pretty slender installment from our friends at Paul Malvern's production company. Wayne's an undercover G-man on the trail of counterfeiter Yakima Canutt. On the way he hooks up with medicine man Doc Carter (Hodgins) and his sloe- eyed daughter (Burns). We see a lot of the medicine show and some of it is a hootThe Texas Two whose down-home ditties are memorably corny. But reviewer Chance is right: Hodgins takes up too much screen time for a brief 50-minute feature. Too bad producer Malvern didn't pop for a location shoot at scenic Lone Pine. That would have compensated for a lot. Instead, the boys have to ride around the scrubby un-scenic outskirts of LA. He did however pop for a well-staffed chase scene at the end. Then too, there is the usual hidden hideout that fascinated Front-Row kids like myself, along with a dramatic plunge off a cliff. But the sum-total is rather plodding and not up to the usual high-action standard. (In passing sorry to say I counted 3 "trip-wire" induced falls, which make for a dramatic tumble of horse and rider, but is unfortunately often fatal to the horse. Happily, these stunts were eventually banned. On a more upbeat note-- for a really entertaining look at how these Saturday afternoon specials were made, catch Hearts of the West {1975}.)
