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 Bad Man From Red Butte Johnny Mack Brown plays the dual role of surveyor and gunfighter. The surveyor carries the knowledge that he has a twin brother who is a notorious gunman as a deep dark secret. It only comes out after surveyor Brown is accused of killing rancher Lafe McKee. Of course the killing was ordered by the real villain of the story Norman Willis.
Surveyor Brown arrives with his sidekicks, Bob Baker who is a singing lawyer and has plans to hang up a shingle and practice law. But he's soon involved in the politics of the town. Good thing he's a cowboy singer, he brings his own entertainment to rallies. There's also Fuzzy Knight who is his own entertainment and he's looking to sell hair tonic with a kick to it.
The action keeps nicely moving in this Johnny Mack Brown western. Fans of the B western should be pleased.
