The Bold Frontiersman

Smiling Jim is after the money Adam Post is collecting for a new reservoir. After Rocky breaks up his gang's attempted robbery. Jim steals the money himself, kills Harris, and gets the father and son to each believe the other did the killing. With Don confessing and scheduled to be hung, Rocky has a plan to trap Smiling Jim.

Rocky Lane film that's a little different as it isn't loaded with action or so Formula-driven. It's a bit darker ( tackling gambling addiction and hanging) and benefits from a menacing performance by Roy Barcroft as Smiling Jim. Barcroft's signature move in this one is to flip a coin while in a showdown. It's a bit slow and drags a little, but watchable enough.
