Singing cowboy Jimmy Wakely, aided by his comic sidekick, Dub “Cannonball” Taylor, unravels a crafty plot that could have come straight out of a film noir from the same year. In this outing in Wakely’s Monogram series, a wealthy older ranch owner brings home a lovely young bride as well as her “brother.” When his adult son criticizes the marriage, the rancher banishes the young man from his spread. Wakely, as the ranch’s foreman, tries to play peacemaker, and he lends a hand when crime rears its head. A decent little film.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.
