Review by hines-2000

Ed Parks tells his new partner when asked "What's this all about? Whatever it is you bought half of it." The way the movie started it seemed like Johnny Mack Brown was going to be the villain for a change. After shooting up the bar, The judge (Frank Ball) gives him a reprieve if he promises to get out of town. He straggles over to the Bar Z Ranch for some peace and quiet but sobers up fast when he finds his partner (Jack Rockwell) is facing 'lead poisoning' from the cattle rustlers. Lois January, one of the greatest ladies in western movies has a love hate relationship with the rowdy Brown but then again she might have killed his partner. Man of a thousand films, Tom London billed as the 'leading citizen' may be playing both sides of the fence. Dick Curtis didn't get to utilize any of his comedic talents but does well as a vicious henchman here. It all may boil down to henchman Pete (Ernie Adams) to spill the goods if he lives long enough. Brown and January head up a great cast in a fast paced action western.
