    This is actually quite a good little western adventure and I might have scored it higher but for the singing; there is just way, way too much of it! The plot keeps the action coming quite thick and fast, otherwise - Roy Rogers ("Brett Starr") is mistakenly appointed sheriff of Tombstone by a mayor who (not so) secretly wants to take over the town and it's local silver mines. Accompanied by ever faithful Gabby Hayes, however, Rogers soon discovers he is on the wrong side and starts to try to put matters right. Plaudits, as usual, to Hayes for stealing the show - and to Zeffie Tilbury as "Granny Carson" who is the feisty old owner of the mine that feeds the others.

Ross Bodine and Frank Post are cowhands on Walt Buckman's R-Bar-R ranch. Bodine is older and broods a bit about how he will get along when he's too old to cowboy. Post is young and rambunctious and ambitious for a better life than wrangling cows. When one of their fellow cowboys is killed in a corral accident, Post suggests a way into a better life for himself and his friend: robbing a bank. Bodine reluctantly joins in the plan and the two contrive to rob the local bank. They make good their escape initially, but Walt Buckman and his two sons, John and Paul, are incensed at this betrayal by their own trusted employees. John and Paul set out to bring Bodine and Post to justice.

The Way West

In the mid-19th century, Senator William J. Tadlock leads a group of settlers overland in a quest to start a new settlement in the Western US. Tadlock is a highly principled and demanding taskmaster who is as hard on himself as he is on those who have joined his wagon train. He clashes with one of the new settlers, Lije Evans, who doesn't quite appreciate Tadlock's ways. Along the way, the families must face death and heartbreak and a sampling of frontier justice when one of them accidentally kills a young Indian boy.
