Bob Steele's talkie debut was the usual story of cattlemen versus sheepmen. Steele, the son of a cattle rancher, naturally belongs to the former group and is soon falsely accused of murdering an old sheepherder. The dead man, alas, is the father of Steele's girlfriend (Louise Lorraine) and the young cowboy is desperate to prove his innocence. While Bob Steele's career continued to rise in talkies, Louise Lorraine, the widow of silent Western star Art Acord, retired following this film. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide

Yak Halliday (Yakima Canutt) loses his money and his horse to a crooked card player, Parson Larkin (James Corey, more familiarly credited as Jim Corey), who's as handy with a gun as he is with a marked deck. But when he finds out that Larkin and his outfit are running from the law, and all have bounties on their heads, Halliday takes out after them. This late-era silent is a superb vehicle for Yakima Canutt, who demonstrates his trick-riding and other stunt-skills throughout its running time as easily as some cowboy actors walk across a dusty street or tilt their hats back, and Jim Corey makes a memorable villain as well. ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide
