Despite its enticing title, this is a very ordinary little western with lots of talk, lots of so-so comic relief with George Hayes and Sally Payne, a bit of romance with hero Rogers and moderately pretty Carol Adams, a bit of shoot-out and chase action, and two songs (both of which are treated in such a desultory fashion they serve merely as background for important dialogue and other business). Incidentally, 1941 was Sally Payne's big year. She appeared in no fewer than fifteen films! Joe Kane's direction is almost totally pedestrian. Even the chase spots are spoiled by obvious studio cut-ins. Production values are minimal. The money spent on an extensive cast has been clawed back by rigid economies elsewhere — particularly on sets.

This is a pretty decent Roy Rogers flick. It begins with Roy making a new friend in Tombstone (surprise, surprise it's Gabby Hayes) and the two decide to get to the bottom of the theft of Gabby's new inheritance. Now you'd THINK that it would be a decent place--after all, it has a sheriff, a civic committee and a bank--all signs of civilization. But, there's SOMEONE or SOME GROUP that is evil--and it's up to the good guys to solve the crimes and bring justice to the city. And, in order to do so, they must actually rob the stages to get incriminating evidence on the dastardly foes.I liked this one for two reason--Roy sings less than usual and its message that the best way to stop crime is resort to taking the law into your own hands! Enjoyable and well done all around...

Bad Men Of Deadwood while it doesn't quite take us back to the days of gold strike in the Black Hills, takes us to when the town was starting to grow. But the people who were there first have a businessman's association that's a cover for a monopoly. They don't like newcomers and will do anything to stop them.Roy Rogers plays a trick shot artist in Gabby Hayes's medicine show with the lovely and funny Sally Payne and all get involved in the fight for some fair business practices. Also involved are Carol Adams who works for newspaper owner Henry Brandon. They've got a federal judge who is sympathetic in Herbert Rawlinson. The sheriff is in the pocket of the business association and he's got a murderous deputy in Jay Novello. That's a surprise because later on Novello played funny little ethnic parts usually Italian. Here he's quite serious and deadly.Singing is kept to a minimum and it's usually part of the medicine show. Emphasis definitely on action in this good Roy Rogers western.

Roy Rogers, a sharp-shooter in Gabby Hayes' medicine show, helps the refugee townsfolk of Deadwood battle a crooked bigwig and his outlaw gang, who've forced them out of town and stolen their businesses.Meanwhile, Gabby collects a sizable inheritance that gets stolen by the bad man of Deadwood.Though not as good as some of Roy's later features, this is fast paced enough, has some good gun-play by Rogers, and features a snappy opening scene featuring Gabby's medicine show that all help make this decently entertaining. However, it does run out of steam a bit near the end.Once again, George "Gabby" Hayes is quite a scene stealer.
