Bob Steele plays a somewhat callous young man with a smirking, sadistic approach to his interpersonal dealings. He is involved with some less-than-savory fellows, but one can tell he just needs the right impetus to find his true moral compass. The film has a for-grownups kind of feel with some quirky interpersonal relationships on display. The dialog and acting are pretty good, but with the occasional choppy transitions inherent in a B-western. All in all, it is a serious and fairly well-presented cowboy drama for 1932.
