action
Counterfeit money has surfaced in the western United States , more precisely in Arizona near the Mexican border . The suspicion falls on the former inmate Carter, who served ten years for a similar offense, but is now on the road again with a medicine show . His companion at the time had made himself available as a key witness and had not been punished. Government official John Wyatt is assigned to the case. This follows the trail of the medicine show, which apparently can never stay long in one place because of debts and fights. He catches up with the small group and helps them to escape the excited crowd from the last village by helping their broken-down vehicle to pull them across the state border.
In his medicine show, "Doc Carter" tries to sell his self-mixed "Indian medicine". He is supported by his daughter Linda and the entertainers Ike and Mike. Under the name of John Rogers, Wyatt is hired as an art shooter by the troops. On the way, the troops are attacked by armed riders who want to prevent the show from going to the next town. Behind it is Curly Joe, Carter's former partner, who is behind the counterfeit money and is afraid of being recognized by Carter and being exposed. Curly Joe runs his business on the Mexican side of town. He tries unsuccessfully to bribe Wyatt to drive Carter and his show off. Wyatt is puzzled and now really wants to find out why the show should be distributed. He's also hooking up with Carter's daughter.
Curly Joe lets the show's viewers steal. His men put some of the booty in Doc Carter's car to raise suspicions about him. Wyatt finds the stolen goods, however. In conversation with Ike and Mike he also learns that Carter was wrongly in jail and is looking for his former companion Joe Gale. From the description, Wyatt realizes that Curly Joe must be the counterfeiter. His arrest initially fails. He escapes to his hiding place, where Carter and his daughter are being held prisoner. Wyatt overpowers Joe just in time, just before he can shoot Carter. With the help of the Mexican Rurales , to whom he reported his secret mission, Joe's gang can finally be arrested.
criticism
“One of the medium-length westerns that John Wayne (1907–1979) shot in the 1930s before he became a star with John Ford's“ Stagecoach - Ringo - Hell Ride to Santa Fe ”(1939). The films, designed as series westerns without great ambitions and often with identical plot, were shown in theaters as double or triple features. Interesting is the traveling Medicine Show, where the Duke appears as an art shooter and his partner plays the Russian Princess Natasha. "
Others
In Germany, the film was also shown as part of the ZDF Western series Western von Yesterday , which was broadcast from May 1978 to July 1986. The series consists of westerns of the 1930s and 1940s, in which the films were divided into episodes of 25 minutes each or cut accordingly.
