Story:
U. S. Marshals Buck Roberts (Buck Jones), Jack Carson (Rex Bell) and Sandy Hopkins (Raymond Hatton) are entrusted with delivery of a wagon train of railroad supplies to the town of Beaver Lake. Formerly, every such wagon train attacked robbed and every member killed, supposedly by Indians, before it reached the town. Carson discovers from his Indian friends that the tribe had nothing to do with the attack and he rides into Beaver Creek seeking further information. Buck and Sandy are in charge of the wagon train, in which is Judge John Corkle (Robert Frazer) going to the town to visit his brother Jim (Harry Woods), the crooked boss who really runs the settlement.
Review:
Great swan song of great Buck Jones
This couldn’t have been a better swan song for western great Buck Jones. Dawn is a great story with a magnificent cast. While Rough Rider Tim McCoy is doing his patriotic duty in WWII, Rex Bell is filling is nicely as the undercover agent posing as the town gambler. Beaver Lake is run by Hollywood’s favorite villain Harry Woods and his brother Judge John Corkle (Robert Frazer) is on the wagon train coming to solidify the crime cartel. Of course Raymond Hatton as Sandy Hopkins as the best sidekick ever gives Buck and Rex all the help they can hope for. Matinee idol Betty Blythe shows why she was so popular with a great performance as the judgmental busy body Elmira Corkle. A well written story with plenty of drama and action with a who’s who of henchmen and stuntmen. Written by hines-2000 on imdb.com
