Blazing Sixes (1937)
5/10
T-Man out west

Blazing Sixes, referring of course to the weaponry of the old west, has Dick Foran starring as a Treasury agent out west investigating a string of gold robberies. In those days the Treasury printed $20.00 gold pieces and this gang has been robbing stagecoaches carrying same.

The only clue they have is that the money is not being spent anywhere so it's hidden in a certain general vicinity. Foran gets in with the suspected leader John Merton who has his headuarters at an abandoned ranch.

The only problem is that the place is about to become unabandoned as Joan Valerie and Mira McKinney claim it as an inheritance. What to do for the villains and what to do for Foran who has yet to locate the stolen gold.

Foran gets to warble a couple of forgettable western ballads and also gets as a sidekick Glenn Strange who is best known as Sam the bartender at the Longbranch saloon in Gunsmoke. Earlier on he was usually playing heavies mostly in westerns, but here he takes a comic turn as Foran's sidekick. His best comedy performance probably is in Comin' Round The Mountain supporting Abbott&Costello.

This should please most B western fans.
