4/10
Trial by jury on a corrupt court.
10 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The chief in this case in this old B George O'Brien western is not native, but head of a gang of organized criminals which O'Brien has infiltrated in hopes of getting the evidence on them and find out who "the chief" is. That causes distress for his fiance, Laraine Day (pre-Dr. Kildare), daughter of judge Edward Le Saint. But what she doesn't know is that O'Brien and her father are in cahoots, and this leads to him in legal trouble due to suspicion of him being involved in a stagecoach robbery.

Typical action-packed Western with lots of chases and gun shooting (always in the air as they ride, making me wonder where these bullets land), with Carlyle Moore Jr., Chill Wills and future Frankenstein monster Glenn Strange. Not really all that exciting, with poor sound recording quite evident in the photography. The film does get more intense when the head of this gang discovers the truth about what O'Briens doing. Blessedly short but unmemorable.
