In this animated film, Justin Eagle (Dale Robertson) is an undercover U.S. agent living on a California ranch. He's sent on a mission to find kidnapped U.S. Sen. Freeman (Clarence Nash), who had been clashing with a crooked businessman who is forcing settlers to sell their land in anticipation of a new railway. Helping Eagle are his daughter, Stormy (Barbara Jean Wong), friend Sorry (Edgar Buchanan) and a menagerie of creatures, including his horse, Rebel, and Alfy the skunk.

Animated cowboy adventure has light peril, outdated views.

This movie has no excuse claiming to be "The most delightful animated adventure since Snow White," with many shots and frames being reused, consistency errors, and finally, a plot so weak half of the movie turns into a side-plot all about the animals frolicking to pad the film length.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
