Made in the rather grainy true color, this modern western crime drama has some truly great visuals that aren't affected by the blurry photography. Roy Rogers is up against land grabbers who wants to purchase the land surrounding a lake so they can get a hold of the oil, and of course that would affect the fishing industry in the area, and they're willing to commit murder to get it.
You actually get an environmental lesson of the value of the lake as it is, with a female expert explaining the value of the lake the way it is. While the film is listed at 67 minutes, the print I found is an edited television version clocking in at 52. The villain is Robert Emmett Keane, out to defraud his brother, Lucien Littlefield. Dale Evans is the environmental expert who joins forces with Roy to find out whose responsible for the murder after she's accused. A unique outdoorsy film, unique as a western simply because it said outdoors in the west and doesn't have all the usual Western trappings.
