Nicely executed story

Righteous Jim Mallory and his friend, "Happy" T. Snodgrass, are seeking Jim's father, because they have heard about his cruel domination. They try to stop him with this gang. After they manage to stop their activity with the help of newspaper publisher Jonathan Taylor, his daughter Nan and Governor representative Brent Gordon. But then, Jim is put into the jail. After this complication, Jim's father decides he joins Brent and Jonathan and they together let Jim free.

Johnny Mack Brown and Tex Ritter head a good cast in this good western that has a strong plot and a nicely executed story of father and son finding themselves opposite sides but when Johnny Mack Brown is arrested the father (William Farnum) comes to his senses. There's some fine action and sprightly pace adding some icing on the cake. Jennifer Holt adds some classiness to the proceedings.
