Idaho Kid

Surprisingly good.

&quot;Idaho Kid&quot; stars Rex Bell, an actor who was most famous for marrying Clara Bow. Here, he does what he usually did in films...playing in B-westerns.

The story begins with a young man holding up a stage. Our hero, &apos;Idaho&apos; (Bell), soon finds the kid and convinces him to return the money...which he soon does. Now, no longer in trouble, the kid becomes Idaho&apos;s best buddy and sidekick. Soon, however, the young guy is shocked that Idaho signs on to work for Hollister, a REAL jerk and tough guy. Why would a heroic type like Idaho go to work for such a man? And, what is Idaho&apos;s connection with the jerk&apos;s enemy, the Endicott family? And, who is Idaho REALLY??

I appreciated how this western was NOT a typical story. Normally, most B-westerns have one of about three different plots...and this one manages to be a bit different. It also helped that Bell was really good and showed a nice emotional range. So, despite being a cheaply made film, it is quite entertaining and showed even the likes of Rex Bell could make a dandy film...not just the big stars like Gene Autry or Roy Rogers.
