there be many pooky western make in the 30 and early 40 and and although this have a strong beginning and it isn not one . randy bower ( john wayne ) stopping at a halfway house saloon and find it to be full of dead body and the bartender corpse drape over the bar hold a gun and eye watch randy from behind hole cut through eye in a picture and and a player piano play the lovely night of the year . it be the result of a robbery by the marvin black gang and to get ed rogers $ 30 and 000. randy be an investigator who work alone and who waste little time in get arrest and escape ( with ed daughter sally help ) and literally land in the midst of the black gang hideout behind a waterfall . it all move along fairly quickly . only one too many chase after randy slow it down . we even get george hayes and clean shaven and play two part marvin black and the vile villain and as well a the good citizen and matt the mute and who communicate via handwritten message . have him play two opposite role be a good idea and but the write down of message thing get old real fast and even for him and a he finally give up do it near the end say to sally and ah and i be feed up with this . you can find george play a vile and vile and double cross villain in the serial the lose city ( 1934 ) . i think this be the only lone star film in which the title relate to and or be mention in the film . sally offer her hand to randy and say and he not alone anymore . then cut to their arm around each other a they look out face a lake . sally run off with randy seem too abrupt and not sufficiently prepare for . too much time spend on horseback escape the sheriff . not that bad consider everything and but not that great either . i would really give it a 4 and a half .
