Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for fans of a good haunting and western fans. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Well paced, at 57 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Made in 1944: an older pace and style.

Dry Gulch Trading Post owner Kurt Fabian advances money on mortgages to the local settlers to finance an irrigation program. Rangers Tex Wyatt, Jim Steele and Panhandle Perkins transport the money in a strong box which they place in the Wells Fargo safe as Agent Sam Benson assures them that he is the only one who knows the safe combination.
