A GENO CUDDY EXCLUSIVE PRESENTATION!
FIRST TIME ON KZbin!
A rare Ken Maynard western, produced by Maynard and released through Universal Pictures. This rare film has been seldom seen and is considered to be one of Maynard's finest westerns.
Outlaws rouse hostile Indians and plot to ambush a wagon train to seize a gold miner's (Ken Maynard) claim.

This was one of the best Ken Maynard movies I have ever seen! I thought I had seen every Western Ken Maynard ever made, but I had not seen this one, and it was really great! Thanks!

The activity of the wagon train and the shots from inside the wagon looking out at the landscape and the exterior sounds were excellent. Best wagon train sequence I have seen. Couldn't be duplicated in a TV program. I am finding it so worthwhile to discover the B movies of all genres of the 1930s, even early '40s; just a little before my time. I am trying to understand what Maynard's behavior was that disturbed people. Maybe he became quiet, sullen and maybe pouted; then blew up. I remember my father, also from southeast Indiana, telling me that he thought Ken Maynard became afraid, maybe for a lot of reasons. The more he burst out in anger, the more his fears were realized. He has a real nice manner, speaks politely and seems sensitive and humble onscreen. What's not to like? I can understand why producers and studios who fired him gave him another chance; there was a lot that was likeable about him. It's interesting how many times Maynard says to the person next to him "Come on." In many scenes he didn't have many lines.
