Plot
 
Two U.S. Marshals ride into a town undercover at the request of a woman whose father has been killed, to investigate his death. The town is run by a powerful bully and a crooked judge and the Marshals must get the evidence to convict them and their gang.
 
Review
 
A standard storyline with some good performances from a quality cast. Johnny Mack Brown is a believable force on the screen and there is a good turn from Raymond Hatton as his sidekick. There is nothing above average about the script or the ending so my score is still quite low.














 
Additional Interesting Information
 
Evelyn Finley was an expert trick rider appearing at many rodeos. She is given her moment for a couple of minutes at the end of the film where she performs various stunts and tricks with her horse.
