i be sure that the folk on the texas or louisiana border must have have a a good laugh or two when paramount b picture unit inflict this one on the war time public . very simply the area along the sabine river where the film open be cotton country just like the rest of the deep south or at least the deep south be post civl war . no big cattle empires there and theyre much farther west in texas and farther than richard dix and preston foster could ride to set up their empire . the film begin with the two of them partner in a riverboat and when leo carrillo try a theft of their service by not pay them for haul his cattle and they keep the cattle . and that the beginning of the big ponderosa like ranch they start . along the way foster marries dix sister play by france gifford and feud with his much small neighbor . they also have some further run in with leo carrillo . anyway and u easterner who like western usually do not bother with geographical trifle and it still a good western from the production mill of harry sherman who produce all those hopalong cassidy western for paramount . the climax be a blazing and and i mean that literally and gun battle that should have maybe be use on an a production . but i wouldn not have any but western fan look at it .
