Predictable but competent western from the usual suspects. I purchased this one on sale from TCM.Com. IMDb has it listed as "color", but the DVD version is quite black & white, so i'll add that. When Joan Andrews inherits a chunk of money from her prospector father, she goes out west to claim it, and runs into roadblocks and crooks along the way. The police (Andy Devine and Roy Rogers) set out to help her and get the crooks behind bars. Not a bad story. Adele Mara and Marie Harmon play the city slickers who go west, and play the helpless gals out of their element. A couple songs by the "Pioneers", of course. Did you also catch Hank Patterson as one of the tramps down by the tracks, with a speaking part? This was about 20 years before Petticoat Junction and Green Acres, where he played Mr. Ziffel. Directed by William Whitney, king of the westerns. Good way to spend 66 minutes.
