Plot
A prospector finds gold but is killed before he returns to register the claim. The culprit is caught and is about to be hanged by a lynch mob. He is the only one who knows where the gold is and must be saved by the very man who caught him.
Review
A standard fare even for a low-budget B-Western. Nothing spectacular in the plot, the script is laboured and the acting only satisfactory. As usual Charles King is much better than this film as the villain.
Interesting Additional Information
Another starring role for Bob Steele whose father, Robert N. Bradbury, directed the film.
Harley Wood also acted under the name Jill Martin. Later in life she became, amongst other things, a songwriter, calling herself Jill Jackson Miller, co-writing songs with her husband Sy Miller. She wrote the lyrics to their most famous song 'Let There Be Peace On Earth'.
