When a mistrial is declared and Ernie Adams is freed, Ranger Bob Steele is fed up. Every time he brings in a law breaker, he walks free on a technicality. He resigns and announced he is going after Adams as a private citizen, and no one can stop him. However there are mysteries within mysteries and he soon discovers the phony outfit just over the hill is central to the goings-on.
This looks like the last film that Robert Bradbury directed Bob Steele in before the contract was sold to Republic Pictures, which wound up distributing it the following year. It's not a particularly enthralling effort for the father-son pairing. Steele doesn't get to do much in the way of his wonted acrobatics, and by the time "the boss" shows up masked halfway through, it's pretty clear what's going on. The rest is a matter of people explaining what they've been doing and a final gun battle. The following year, Republic would begin to bankroll the pictures and the production values would begin to pick up. Inthe meantime, this one looks like a meiocre placeholder for the usually delightful Steele.
