Another one of those Tim McCoy western movies that seem to spring up like rabbits when looking up the history of the Western. In this one, he gets a job in a traveling medicine show (helping the man who runs it skirt the law at the beginning reel) and getting involved in helping to try to bust a series of bank robberies in the region. His past friend is a G-Man who has infiltrated the group is soon found out and dealt with.. Is Mccoy next?
This film isnt all that bad. Tim McCoy certainly doesnt really rank with the best of the movie cowboys (well, #1 problem would be his hat), but hes somewhat entertaining, gets into a lot of wimpy looking fights (he throws his hat a weapon1 Ooh! Tough!) shoots his gun totally wrong and again treats us to his Mexican impersonation (like he did in Lighting Carson Rides Again). Good for some entertainment.

Tim McCoy is joined by Dick Tracy himself, Ralph Byrd, in this fast-moving low-budget oater from Puritan Pictures, which also offered employment to nearly every Hollywood cowpoke not otherwise engaged, from silent star Bill Patton to hayseed bit player Si Jenks. Puritan Pictures Corp., complete with a logo featuring a sturdy-looking example of its religious namesake, burst upon the scene in 1935 with McCoy as its chief asset. Formerly of Columbia Pictures, the veteran star hoped to acquire more artistic freedom with an independent producer, and although his 10 Puritan westerns were decidedly on the cheap side  reportedly budgeted between $10,000 and $12,000 each, of which $4000 were earmarked for McCoyÂsalary  all were sturdy and well-appointed sagebrush tales and made money for the company. Aside from the McCoy westerns, Puritan is probably best remembered for ÂThe Rogues Tavern (1936), a Nick and Nora Charles wannabe whodunit featuring Wallace Ford and Barbara Pepper.
