Tim McCoy's presence is often alone enough to tell a viewer this is a good movie. But here is is backed up by some of the best-known names in the B Western genre.
Leading lady is Frances Grant, who has the most beautiful smile. The first time we see her, she sees a cowboy riding a bucking horse, and her smile just lights up the screen. I am dumbfounded she was not cast in a thousand movies just for her smile. But that beautiful face is also beautifully expressive. Watching her eyes move, watching her emotions expressed by her face, one can be grateful for the chance to see her this once while at the same time bemoaning Hollywood's short-sightedness.
There were a few and minor directing flaws, but they can be ignored while we watch a story of undercover work unfold.
Tim McCoy has to show different character this time out, and he does it typically well.
All his co-players, even the villains, are just what we hope for and expect.
There is a good print at YouTube and I recommend "The Traitor."
