action
Rocklin was called to the small town of Santa Inez by a letter from the farmer Cardell. On the way there he learns that Cardell was murdered. Instead of entering the service of the heiress, Rocklin works for the young Arly Harolday, who runs a neighboring farm and actually only hires him in order to be able to terminate him immediately in revenge for a humiliation he has suffered.
Now Rocklin tries to find out who killed Cardell and why Clara's aunt Elizabeth is so anxious to send her niece back to the east immediately. But an assassination attempt is carried out on him. After identifying Judge Garvey as a cheater, Arly's brother Clint falls victim to another attack on Rocklin.
Believed to be Clint's killer, Rocklin escapes. He wants to go to the next town with Clara to report Garvey about his machinations. On Cardell's farm, with the help of Arly, he manages to uncover the conspiracy that Cardell had fallen victim to. Eventually, it turns out that Rocklin himself is the rightful heir to Cardell.
criticism
The "average" Western is one of the better "from the time when John Wayne became increasingly desperate that after Stagecoach it was only worn out in routine productions". TMP wrote in the New York Times in 1944 that everything in film happened just as it did twenty years ago within 87 noisy minutes; at least the film is reliable. The Protestant film observer succinctly remarks that the strip is a western that does not stand out from the average of its genre.
