When a stagecoach is robbed and a passenger murdered, the boss of the company asks his pal “Hoppalong” (William Boyd) and his friend “Windy” (‘Gabby’ Hayes) to travel, incognito, to get to the bottom of things. We know that “Keller” (Robert Fiske) is the man behind the crimes and that he has stolen $30,000 from the now dead husband of “Ann” (Charlotte Wynters) but he is not expecting this great milk-sop of a dandy to arrive replete with bow-tie, and so “Hoppy” is able to infiltrate the town and observe just how the stolen cash is being laundered through it’s casino. Needless to say, neither “Ann” nor daughter “Dorrie” (Jan Clayton) are best pleased with this hapless man, but that is bound to change once he gets onto the scent of the perpetrators and brings them to book. Of course the result is that certain, yes, but this is still a solid adventure western with plenty of action, duplicity and Fiske makes for quite a decent baddie as things hot up to a well staged conclusion where luckily nobody’s aim is much good. Boyd is competent here and Hayes serves well as his lively foil and for an hour it’s an amiable story of greed versus good.
