Tim Holt and Richard "Chito" Martin were among the very best western teams, with great chemistry and personality that leapt from the screen. This 1951 pairing finds the two lawmen going undercover to expose a counterfeiting ring ----- until they are accidentally exposed by Chito's old flame.

Added to this great mix of B-western action is a fine supporting cast and entertaining story line. Bob Livingston has a very fine featured role here, one of his best roles since his 3 Mewsquiteers heyday.

While some audiences today may not be keen on B-westerns, this one will definitely appeal to most fans of vintage oaters. The action, comedy and suspense here are outstanding....... Enjoy !

Solid Holt-Rafferty entry. As Texas Rangers, the guys are assigned to go undercover and break up a counterfeit ring in the Texas badlands. Naturally complications ensue. Plot means more here than usual as getting the goods on the gang comes to dominate all else. There's no hard riding, and one brief barroom brawl. Of course, Rafferty gets to whisper sweet nothings to the lovely Dixon, but her role is worked nicely into the plot. No scenery to speak of, since filming never leaves greater LA. Still, our movie duo never needed Lone Pine-type mountains as a draw. My only gripe is the poorly staged street shootout that's a little too sloppy even for a matinée production. Anyway, Dixon is real eye-candy, sinister Ken MacDonald gets to play a good guy, while the boys are in fine form. So what else can a front-row fan ask for.

The Texas Rangers send Dave and Chito into the badlands to see if they can locate a counterfeiting operation. They arrive posing as wanted outlaws and this gets them into the gang. But as soon as they uncover the operation and locate the printing press, one of Chito's girl friends arrives to expose their identity and they find themselves trapped by the entire gang.

Tim Holt and Richard Martin as Chito Rafferty ride into danger again, this time taking on counterfeiters. You get the usual slam bang action, but with a more investigatory angle and some fine tension towards the end. It's above average Holt Western.

That's one of the last westerns from the grade Z scale, with a running time of one hour, made in the early fifties. Before TV industry will totally and rapidly replace this kind of stuff, recurrent character for an one hour program. Only the B westerns, not below 70 minutes, will continue for a decade or two. This is short, yes, not that boring, but not that exciting either. Only destined to westerns fans and Tim Holt ones in particular. Directed by Lesley Selander, the equivalent of Ray Nazzaro for this kind of material, you can easily forget it just after viewing. Undercover Texas Rangers to smash a counterfeit ring, that's not very unusual. But I have seen far worse. Good directing for such a grade Z western, let's be fair, good camera work.
