Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTo emphasize that he is the evil twin, almost all of Gils Brady's scenes are accompanied by the familiar "Monster's Rampage" cue from Frank Skinner's score for "Son of Frankenstein," which Universal used constantly throughout the 1940s.
- GoofsThe story takes place in the era of stagecoaches, buckboards, wooden sidewalks, and unpaved streets, but Anne Gwynne's clothes and hairstyles are strictly 1940, from the moment she steps off the stagecoach wearing a knee length skirt, high heel shoes, a picture hat, and bobbed hair, looking like she just stepped out of the latest issue Vogue Magazine.

Featured review
In the last of six Universal westerns with Johnny Mack Brown and sidekicks Bob Baker and Fuzzy Knight, they ride into town. Baker wants to hang up his lawyer's shingle, Knight to open a store, and Brown is taken by people who mistake him for his identical twin brother, who's helping the bad guy try to take over a ranch.
Yes, it's the old identical tin plot. I've noted before that every long-running B series did it at least once, and Good Guy Brown is taken prisoner and forced to stand trial. Fortunately there's a deus ex machina ending that settles things before the one-hour mark. There's Anne Gwynne as the love interest, the usual background players in westerns, and director Ray Taylor keeps things moving along, with three musical number, and a nice stunt gag in which Our Hero or his double leaves a running horse to jump onto a moving stage coach and grab the reins once the teamster has been shot.
