More plot than usual

In this western Tim Holt and Richard Martin are forced to turn into Robin Hood like outlaws when they see town boss Mauritz Hugo extorts money out of all the ranchers and others with his toll road. But things do get complicated in this film which has a bit more plot to it than the usual Tim Holt westerns.

Two women figure prominently in this film. Noreen Nash plays the cowgirl daughter of one of the extorted ranchers and Dorothy Patrick is a saloon girl and one of Chito's old flames. She's one smart cookie.

One of Hugo henchmen Robert J. Wilkie has an interesting part.. He's fired for incompetence by Hugo and before the film is over Hugo wishes he hadn't done it. You'll have to see the film to find out the what and why.

Tim Holt fans won't be disappointed.

Enjoyable albeit routine Tim Holt western.

Two cowboys (Tim Holt, Richard Martin)help cattle drivers against a ruthless land baron (Stanley Blystone) by stealing from him and giving the drivers the money so that they have enough money to buy a permit from him that will allow them to move their cattle across his land.

Watchable Tim Holt western, typically fast paced and quite enjoyable, albeit routine. There are a number of shoot outs, bar room brawls and obligatory love interests thrown in to please fans of the genre looking for a decent time waster. Holt ensures that the audience knows that he and Martin are inspired by Robin Hood by explicitly making reference to the famed man's deeds.

Brand controls the only road to the cattle market and is charging exorbitant rates. Tim and Chito rob Brand to recover only their overcharge, but accidentally end up with all of Brand's money... so they give it to the ranchers who then give it back to Brand so they can move their cattle. But there is trouble when that money is then stolen and Brand's clerk is murdered.

One of Brand's henchmen Robert J. Wilkie has a meatier part than what henchmen usually get. When he gets fired by Brand he causes a lot of problems such as stealing From his former boss and leaving a note saying Robin Hood. A calling card of Tim Holt and Chito who have decided to help the ranchers pay the exorbitant prices Brand is charging. Robin Hood style.

This is a watchable Holt western with some fine twist and turns and an interesting henchman.
