Trivia
This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in "Motion Picture Herald" on 4 April 1942. At this time television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-46. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. Its earliest documented post-WWII telecasts took place in Cincinnati, where it was shown in two parts Thursday-Friday 21-22 April 1949 on WKRC (Channel 11), in Atlanta Saturday 28 May 1949 on WSB (Channel 8), in Los Angeles Sunday 12 June 1949 on KTSL (Channel 2), in Philadelphia on Thursday 1 December 1949 on WFIL (Channel 6), and in New York City Tuesday, 27 December 1949 on WPIX (Channel 11).

Quotes

Jimmy: [looking across at Frank polishing his newly issued Deputy badge] Frank's happy with his new badge.
Joan: [holding up left hand, gleefully commenting on the shiny ring on third finger] I'm also really happy with my new badge.

Inconsistency

Texas Ranger Tom Tyler and buddy Robert Walker -- no, not that one -- capture three of Al Bridge's gang. Tyler jawbones Rex Lease into turning honest and helping him track down Bridge and get the goods on him, but Lease is shaky in his loyalties.

It's a good story with some nice twists, but the execution is erratic, as the editing and pacing of westerns begins to pick up. Tyler, Lease, Bridge, and Margaret Nearing (as Lease's tap-dancing sister and Tyler's love interest) keep up the pace of their line readings, but everyone else is slow and dull, and editor Fred Bain sometimes gets the idea that you don't have to show people walking up to a door to get them through it. This results in the battle that should be a highlight taking about 45 seconds, although there's a decently done rescue and two musical numbers to fill things out.
