one of the more literate lone star and with time spend on character development and interaction and dialog and act business . the opening scene set the stage ( literally ) for the personality of the gambler and kansas charlie ( eddy chandler ) and and his buddy and john scott ( john wayne ) the rodeo ( say roh day oh ) star and both of whom be slightly randy . the film follow their adventure and a they try to best each other in the pursuit of the mexican juanita and and later in their pursuit of perky mary kornman and who have the inevitable evil brother ( though he would be lead astray by the real villain and and want to repent ) . and oh and of course and theyre be wrongly accuse of two crime and have to serve jail time before escape and be exonerate at the end . the high point be scott continually and deliberately ogle mary butt in her grocery store and and knock away the ladder she stand on so he can catch her and grab her a she fall . it all seem a little contemporary for a 30 western and but it sound well than it actually be . sadly and the exciting action element we find in many other lone star be sorely miss here . no yakima canutt . cheap and bad us of stock footage of rider fall off horse . no george hayes . tedious stooge like bi play between scott and charlie and with charlie swing at scott and scott stomp on his foot and then punch him ( repeat two more time . ) . the skilled paul fix be underused . eddy chandler himself and here in his big star turn and be not really believable a a randy side kick . the villain look too old and fat . so do chandler and who spend his late career in 300 more movie a an uncredited meatloaf . mary kornman and of the twenty our gang ( see mary and queen of tot 1925 ) be cute in her scene with john wayne and but that about it for this one . seed of a good western lie bury here . p. s. the ultra short colorize version and which look good and move along so fast and it over if you blink more than once . thankfully though and the embarrass scene with eddy chandler have be cut .
