Check out bad guy Scar's black hat--- it's big enough to shade an army. But don't expect Hoppy to be wearing a white hat. In fact, he's got a different wardrobe from his usual. I guess that reflects the movie's story. There is a bad guy and a bang-up climax, but our hero's main conflict is with a snooty girl, Lorna, from the east. Turns out she owns the ranch where Hoppy works, and it's gone to her head, ordering everyone around like servants. Naturally, Hoppy won't take it, so a personality clash ensues, ending in who will dominate.
The bad guy stuff with Scar's kind of thrown in so as to get some gunplay and hard riding. Meanwhile, Baldy (Clark) does a pretty good comedy relief, while Lucky hangs in there with nothing much to do. Anyhow, it's a different Hoppy flick with its own appeal since actress Gaze does an excellent job being both snooty and finally charming. Too bad her career was so short, 13 appearances. I really like the ending with its own brand of appeal. So if you don't mind a different kind of entry, give it a try.
