Copyright 13 September 1945 by Monogram Pictures Corp. No New York opening. U.S. release: 20 October 1945. No record of U.K. release. Never theatrically released in Australia. 6 reels. 53 minutes.
SYNOPSIS: Marshals Brown and Hatton put a stop to a stagecoach war between Holt and MacDonald.
COMMENT: Moderately entertaining Johnny Mack Brown western. The script (Jess Bowers) is the usual malarkey about a girl operating a stage line and being forced out of business by bandits raiding the gold shipments. Leader of the bandits, of course, is the local saloon keeper.
Director Lambert Hillyer is an old hand at this sort of stuff. He keeps the story moving. The cast is good, but the action scenes are just fair. Photography is flat and the sets drab, but Sanucci's music score is mercifully less obtrusive than usual.
