Review by ksf-2

Hollywood really was a tiny little town in the days of black and white; the trivia tells us that both the female leads had been married to actor john whitney at some point. Here, tim holt is mcvey, who goes checking up on an engraver for the US mint. He seems to be putting out counterfeits these days, in silver city nevada. (that happens to be a real place, right off route 50, near virginia city!) mcvey asks the town-folk to help round up the bad guys. Mines, chases on horseback. Shoot-outs. Some fun locations too... the corrigan ranch, which is now a county park. Bronson cave, which was later used as the bat cave. It's like a a typical western, but with a different side story. Not bad. Nothing too new going on here. It's only a shortie B from rko... 59 minutes. Directed by david howard. Died young at 45. This film was released december 12 1941, and howard died on december 21. And both events were probably over-shadowed by pearl harbor. Also note the actor john ince in the uncredited role "Owed money for food"... he was the brother of thomas ince, the director producer who died in very mysterious circumstances, after partying on hearst's boat in 1924.
