The earnest charm of Guinn “Big Boy” Williams provides some appeal in this story of a young man out to avenge his rancher father’s murder and pursuing a black-hooded figure that would fit well in an “Old Dark House” mystery. Gaping plot holes (e.g., what was up with the servant’s apparent attempt to poison the rancher?) and poor scripting and action weigh the film down, so it’s likely to be of interest only for completists.

  Not recommended. Otto thinks you should avoid this movie.

Movie 398 for 2021.
