“Mystery, excitement, big shootouts, and a hard riding hero. So what else could a grown-up kid ask for. Yeah, I know itu0026#39;s gotta have a girl, but at least Wayne doesnu0026#39;t have to kiss her– what mush!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGreat Lone Star action fare. Some good touches– the river canoe, the white bandannas, and even the dangerous tree stump. George Hayes has a u0026quot;straightu0026quot; role here, showing what a talented creation his u0026quot;Gabbyu0026quot; was. Okay, I didnu0026#39;t know it then, but those are u0026quot;trip wiresu0026quot; that make the horse go hind-quarters over head. They made for thrilling spills, but they often broke legs and we know what happens then. Iu0026#39;m really glad the business was made to wise up and quit them. A lot of 30u0026#39;s Westerns had mystery-man masterminds behind the bad guys. This one does too. But heu0026#39;s hardly a secret since they tip his hand early. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, I gladly plunked down my dime in those B Western days and still think those are the best dimes I ever spent.”
