- Who'll love it
- One for anyone who likes wide open spaces and slow-burning standoffs and animal lovers. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen. Liked The Adventures of Robin Hood or The Three Musketeers? This is a good next one. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Wastes no time getting going, at 59 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1937: an older pace and style.

Tom "Killer" Dane kills Jeff's friend, who then pursues him. Jeff and Dane are look-alike half brothers, which allows Dane to make a raid dressed like Jeff. Jeff is arrested, but before Dane's henchman can organize a lynch mob, Fuzzy breaks him out and Jeff heads after Dane again.
