This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
An Exercise In Nonsense
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
In a superior B western from Republic, Allan Lane plays a deputy sheriff who goes on a leave of absence out of his jurisdiction to round up a gang that did an unsolved bank robbery several years earlier. A dying declaration from one of the gang who doublecrossed his partners and hid the loot in a ghost town called Fort Dodge sends Lane on the trail.Of course when he gets to Fort Dodge Lane finds some of the gang already there led by Roy Barcroft. And Chubby Johnson who has bought up all the land that was abandoned for a song is also there. Barcroft is not the leader, the leader is one of a group of settlers that Johnson sold property to that come in later.This is one of the best of the Rocky Lane westerns I've seen so far. Definitely a must for any fan of B westerns.
