Banker Watson is after Williams' ranch and has his men rob Lucky of the check Williams needs to pay off his note. When Saunders offers to lend Williams the money, Watson kills him and frames Williams. Then he sends a fake cattle inspector to quarantine Williams' cattle. But Lucky suspects Watson and he has a plan to bring him into the open and it also involves a fake inspector. I just saw this movie on one of the premium channels and was totally disappointed but not surprised. It was the same story that I had seen over and over again in other "B" westerns of that time. I watched this as I am a fan of Russell Hayden but he should have stayed a sidekick of Hopalong Cassidy as those were well done and had somewhat original stories. This is the last one for me. Comic Dub Taylor, one of the best and most underrated of sidekicks and real-life father of Buck Taylor (Newly O'Brien) of Gunsmoke fame, and known to 70's movie goers from Bonnie and Clyde, really added to any film he was in back in the B western days. And add the fine western swing of Bob wills and his Texas Playboys and I say, also, the heck with the story; this was a B Western and not a John Wayne epic. you can only have so many plots in westerns anyway. I'd never seen any of these Bob Wills westerns until starting to watch Encore Westerns. Seems a lot of these weren't released to early television like the Bob Steele, Ken Maynard and Three Mesquiteers westerns and this viewer is thoroughly enjoying these great B westerns.
