Yikes, but Robert Bradbury has packed loads into this rather enjoyable Bob Steele western adventure. Steele has returned from fighting in WWI to general shock and amazement from his community. They thought he was long gone - despite his regularly writing to his father throughout the conflict. Anyway, back he is - and determined to settle down with his gal "Mary" (Margaret Marquis) and his dad (Charles French). Of course it isn't going to be that straightforward. he soon gleans that local postman "Kent" (Charles King) was the fella responsible for intercepting his mail, and that's just the start of the man's machinations to rustle their cattle, swindle them out of their ranch - and, of course, poach the girl from under his nose. This is quickly paced with loads of action, a teeny weeny bit of romance and a little more by way of characterisation for us to get into than many of these B-features. Steele always did look much better on his posters, but even he isn't quite as wooden as usual - and all in all, this is quite good fun!
