Goofs
When George O'Brien is released from prison (after a 2 year incarceration for STAGECOACH ROBBERY) he's wearing a 1938 suit and tie, as is the Prison Warden. When he gets home, his sweetheart is also wearing totally contemporary 1938 fashions, even though there are no paved streets, and people still use oil lamps and ride in horse and buggies. Is this Brigadoon?

very B-western

Larry Rhodes (George O'Brien) gets parole and released from prison. He rides the rails and is befriended by cowboy Bob North. He returns to his lawless Arizona home town which is run by ruthless Tom Marsh and his son Jeff. They own the law, Sheriff Heck Hampton and Deputy Speedy McGow. Larry is looking for those who framed him and his father who died from an assumed suicide. His girl Norma Rogers is pushed to marry Jeff Marsh.

It's all very B-level western. It's very straight forward. There is a lot of exposition and straight acting. The writing is very direct and the staging is very basic. This is almost like a factory made product. There is a bit of fist fight, gun play, and horse riding. It does have one ok stunt, but it gets silly later on. It's just very B-level.
