Goofs
At around 2 minutes into the actual film, we see John Wayne riding from town to town in southern Arizona searching for the Medicine Show that are suspect in a counterfeiting ring. We see Wayne riding through the desert and then are show a street scene just before his arrival. Unfortunately, in the scene we see snow covered mountains, towering pines and then we see 2 men walk from right to left wearing fur hats. Then we see a figure walk down the street wearing a Mountie hat, striped breeches (sometimes called banana pants) and what appears to be a short jacket or tunic, implying a Northwest Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman. The scene lasts about 8 seconds and then cuts again to Wayne as he rides into a desert town, still searching for the Medicine Show.

Duke And The Medicine Show

Yakima Canutt and his gang of counterfeiters try to run his former partner Dr. Carter and his medicine show out of town before the "doctor" recognizes him and quite possibly blows the whistle on Canutt's involvement in a recent string of bogus bills. Luckily for Carter, undercover lawman John Wayne is the show's new trick shooter.

The last film Wayne made for Lone Star/ Monogram Pictures, this is more light-hearted and less action packed than other entries. It's still good fun with a few decent action scenes and stunts.

The best thing about it is the wonderful scene featuring the medicine show in all it's glory, including the sales pitch, music, and a trick shooting demonstration.
