Written by genre specialist Oliver Drake, this overly complicated B-Western from Gower Gulch company Spectrum featured Bill Cody as "The Rambler," a cowboy who promises a mysterious masked stranger to look after the welfare of pretty Catherine Cotter. The girl is arriving from the East to take possession of her inherited share in a ranch besieged by cutthroats out to steal the property. "The Rambler," proposes to buy Catherine's share in the ranch for much more than the market value but she refuses. To prove that her prospective suitor, a slick lawyer (Roger Williams), is in reality an unscrupulous crook, "The Rambler" pretends to be a member of a gang of rustlers, easily gaining the man's confidence. Then to everyone's shock, Catherine's presumed dead uncle (Earle Hodgins) not only reveals himself to be the masked stranger but that "The Rambler" is in reality the son of his dead partner and the heir to the other half of the ranch. ~ Hans J.

A wagon train sequence and a stampede of buffaloes -- both courtesy of stock footage -- remain the most interesting features of this otherwise stagy early talkie Western from low-budget entrepreneur John Freuler's Monarch Productions. Tom Tyler stars as Tennessee Matthews, a renowned buffalo hunter, who, although in love with settler Virginia Hawkins (Betty Mack), chooses the solitude of his mountains over guiding her wagon train safely through Indian country. Tennessee changes his mind when the new trail guide, O'Hara (Al Bridge), seems to be purposefully leading the train right into an Indian ambush. As it turns out, O'Hara, who is courting a reluctant Virginia, has been robbing several wagon trains with the assistance of the Indians in general and Lola (Mildred Rogers), a fiery squaw, in particular. The latter, who mistakenly believes Virginia to be encouraging O'Hara's company, has her rival kidnapped during the Indian raid, but the white girl is saved by Tennessee, who not only heads off a buffalo stampede, but arrives in the nick of time with the cavalry. ~ Hans J.
