Treachery Rides the Range

Just when things get peaceful between the Comanche and the white man, some buffalo hunters get to stirring things up.

Henry Otho and Craig Reynolds have a buffalo hunting business and new treaties with the Comanche guarantee the buffalo's survival on their reservation. That's going to put them out of business so the Indians have to go on the warpath.

Shooting the chief's sons should do the trick and to make sure, have your men wear cavalry uniforms. The chief, famous Olympic athlete Jim Thorpe, falls for the scheme.

It takes army captain and son of former Indian agent Dick Foran to straighten the whole thing out. That is with some time for a couple of songs to romance the daughter of post commandant Monte Blue, Paula Stone.

Foran was in his Warner Brothers period as their singing cowboy answer to Roy, Gene, and Tex. No memorable songs here, although the film does start out with the cavalry riding out of the fort led by Foran singing like Nelson Eddy with his Mountie chorus. Well if it worked for MGM..........
