Buster crabbe is nevada... he and weary (syd saylor) grab the stolen bank money from setter in an ambush. They talk about taking a long vacation, but get caught up in a horse trade for the gov'ment.

💡 Did You Know?

This is one of 20 Zane Grey stories, filmed by Paramount in the 1930s, which it sold to Favorite Films for re-release, circa 1950-52. The failure of Paramount, the original copyright holder, to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
