action
The two good cowboys Adam and Harmony are on a secret mission; they are supposed to track down a band of unscrupulous train robbers. In Yellow Wood they encounter a mixture of danger and suspicion. A saloon girl leads them on the trail of a conspiracy that includes the train robbery. During their research, Adam and Harmony discover the conspirators' goal to blow up the railway facilities. When a mysterious rider named "Phantom Kid" rushes to help, the bandits get angry and imprison Adam and him. Only with the help of a magical harmonica and the help of his gifted horse Dynamite does Harmony manage to eliminate the criminals just in time.
criticism
The "adventurous western" was hardly discussed; the "unusual" cast was always mentioned.
Remarks
As movie songs you can hear Heroes of the Night , That's the Man for Me and Settling Down .
