Likeable Johnny Mack Brown stars as Jim Waters, who invests in a friend’s ranch only to find that someone seems to be framing the friend for rustling, as other ranchers are losing cattle even as the friend’s herd mysteriously grows. When a murder causes even more chaos and one of the victimized ranchers, Hamp Harvey (Frank LaRue), is blamed for the killing, Jim takes action to find out just what is going on and set things right. A fairly ordinary plot is nonetheless enjoyably delivered for fans of Brown or of B westerns more generally.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.

Movie 566 for 2021.
