Rating:6/10 This movie was one of the more enjoyable B western movies that John Wayne was in. The interesting thing with this movie, is that it seemed as if Gabby hayes was stealing some of the thunder from John Wayne a little bit as he was pretty hilarious in drag. I even laughed out loud when his clothes fell off in the courtroom. This movie did have some unbelievable oddities, such as Wayne chasing one of the bad guys through a drainage system with a make shift flume. Funn as normally you would see something like that in a comedy and of course they sped up the film to make it look as if Wayne was just going crazy down the drainage system. It did have some very poor editing and it did get annoying with that, but this was still and enjoyable little movie because it does have its moments of the bizarre.
