Gene Alsace has been accused of murder and fled, and it's up to Hoot Gibson, Bob Steele and Chief Thundercloud to bring him in. He says he's innocent and there are plenty of people who don't want him to get to trial.
It's the last official entry in the Trail Blazers series, although the three leads played together in other vehicles. It's easy to see why Monogram was ready to drop the series. Hoot looks pretty worn down -- after this year, he would appear in only four more movies through 1959 -- Bob Steele is no longer the athletic youth of the 1930s, and Thundercloud (nee Victor Daniels) was a potentially interesting experiment that never quite worked. They all give good performances, but this is a tired B western under the direction of the perpetually uninspired Robert Emmett Tansey.
