A peace-loving cowboy, “Friendly” Fields (Ken Maynard), has a strong resemblance to a noted outlaw, Blackie Burke, and when Friendly gets a job at the ranch owned by Patty Blair (Lona Andre) and sets out to retrieve some stolen cattle, that resemblance comes in handy, as the rustlers mistake his identity. But when he tries to ensure Miss Blair gets a fair deal in dividing up some new rangeland, will he have pushed matters too far? There are plenty of these “double” westerns, and this doesn’t bring anything particularly new to the theme, but Maynard is appealing in the role. Slight but enjoyable.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 124 for 2021.
