After Bob Lansing (Jay Wilsey as Buffalo Bill Jr). is involved in a nightclub scrape, where he meets Montana rancher Madge Holt (Allene Ray)), his father sends him out west with his chauffeur Ben (Ben Corbett). In Montana, they are mistaken for rustlers Dick (Tom London) and Jim (Yakima Canutt), and Bob again meets Madge, who recognizes him but wishes to make things difficult for him.

I’m not certain it was intentional here, but Allene Ray (“Marge”) did make me smile here as she donned a pair of glasses and voila, as per Batman and Robin, it was a disguise that would fool even Sherlock Holmes himself! Why did she need a disguise? Well that’s because she’s got herself embroiled in the antics of “Lansing/Buffalo Bill Jr.” (Jay Wilsey) as he works with “Ben” (Ben Corbett) to bring some dastardly cattle rustlers to book. From here on in, it follows the usual trammels of infiltrate the baddies, tread on a dangerous tightrope and then hope to get out alive as they will be doubtless be hopelessly outmanned and outgunned. There is something lightly engaging to Wilsey’s performance, but the others merit little worth mentioning and the whole film belongs at the bottom end of the scale of these precursors to episodes of “Bonanza”, only a little more earnest. It’s watchable enough, but I know I shall never recall it.
