This is a great little western from Favourite Films. Dare Rudd (John Wayne) and his side-kick accidentally get caught up in some cattle rustling. The herd belongs to Tom Filmore (Johnny Mack Brown), Dare's brother. Dare has been the black sheep of the family but Tom gives him a job to try to keep him on the straight and narrow. Judy (Marsha Hunt) is one reason Dare decides to stay around.
There is a spy in the cowboy ranks. One of them is giving important information to Bart Hammond (Monte Blue). James Craig plays a crooked card sharp who trys to fleece Dare of the cattle money.
Everybody who pops out from behind a rock was a star either on their way up or down. Johnny Mack Brown had been popular in the late 20s and early 30s and this film provided a shot in the arm for his career at the time. He seemed to alternate between Johnny or John (this was a John time). Monte Blue had been a star in the silents. A couple of his films were "Main Street" (1923)and "White Shadows in the South Seas"(1928). Marsha Hunt was definitely on the verge of better things as was James Craig. Jim Thorpe,that marvelous native American athlete is also supposed to have an uncredited part. Lucian Littlefield, one of the screen's great character actors (he was in "The Cat and the Canary" (1927)) played John, a cattle buyer.
