Typical Rogers and sidekick (A.Devine) saves Dale, gets crooks
21 April 2001 | by (Morgantown, WV) – See all my reviews

This one gets better as it goes along. It features Andy Devine as one of Roy's better sidekicks, Bob Nolan and the Sons of the Pioneers, Dale as Western writer in disguise. Bad guys are weaker actors than usual. Excellent color processes from Republic help on this one. Weak script hurts, and except for Devine and Snowflake Toones as the ranch cook, the acting is barely passable.
