COME ON DANGER is one of a bunch that Tim Holt seems to have shot in a hurry before enlisting during World War II. He is a Texas Ranger in this one, investigating some rustling, and turns up a corrupt town.It's not one of his better ones. While the camera-work by Harry Wild is topnotch, this short 'un is eked out with some cornball humor and songs ("Come On, Danger!") played by his sidekicks, Ray Whitely and Lee White, falling right into the vanilla assistant and the Old Coot mode. Frances Neal is good as the rancher whom he helps.Holt's westerns usually had the muted love interest written as women who are fairly capable themselves, although they were sometimes played by starlets at the beginning of their careers and not quite up to the writing. Miss Neal is fairly good in the role. However, this movie, while watchable, is not one of the stronger entries in the series.

Come On Danger finds Tim Holt once again a Texas Ranger on a dangerous assignment. In this case to bring in a notorious outlaw leader. But the twist here is that the outlaw leader is the lovely Frances Neal who would in real life wed Van Heflin and abandon her own movie career.Tim's sidekicks Lee White and Ray Whitley come along unofficially because they're on suspension from the Texas Rangers following a saloon brawl. But a little investigation on Holt's behalf shows him that Ms. Neal is actually a female Robin Hood who is just taking back what some thieving politicians led by tax collector Karl Hackett has been pilfering from all the honest citizens of Manzanita, Texas. Come On Danger follows the usual run of Tim Holt westerns, nicely constructed stories with a believable cowboy hero, the very best of them in my opinion.
