To cover a shortfall in their bank, the Murdock brothers come up with a scheme to ship money out by rail and then rob the train — thereby putting the railroad on the hook for the sum while keeping the cash themselves. Local rancher Jim Bonner (Hoot Gibson) and his pals throw a wrench into the scheme when they recover the money, but Bonner’s longstanding dispute with the railroad — he drove the previous station agent out of town, albeit he’s rather enamored of the new one (Sally Blane) — leads to his being suspected of the crime himself. Plenty of humor balances out the action, and the combination makes for an entertaining little film.

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

Movie 198 for 2021.
