Story:
Hoppy and Lucky have been called in to investigate a series of stage holdups. The robbers are taking gold from Colby’s mine and Hoppy suspects it may be ex-outlaw Colby himself. When Speedy strikes gold, Hoppy borrows it and announces a gold shipment hoping to catch the gang and their leader.
Review:
One of the high-grade Hopalong Cassidy entries, this script is more intelligent than usual. The novelty of superior dialogue and plotting seems to have enthused both actors and technicians. With the exception of Miss Rogers, the dialogue is delivered with more assurance. The characters are more interesting; and more importantly, this film has much more action than usual and it is more vigorously staged by director Lesley Selander. Even the music, directed by Irvin Talbot, is a big improvement – especially in the lighter passages. Charles Althouse’s sound recording is A-1; Carrol Lewis’s film editing is comparatively sophisticated. Producer Harry Sherman seems to have had a much larger budget at his command, too.
