One day, John Weston (John Wayne) helps stop a bank robbery. George Higgins (George Hayes), the town's grateful marshal, asks Weston for his help in solving another crime. It seems someone at a touring rodeo show is killing the top riders before they can take home the trophy -- and the prize money. Weston agrees to investigate and works his way into the show, which is run by the shady Spike Barton (Edward Peil). As Weston gets closer to the truth, he finds himself in even greater danger.

Georgan G Besides having to watch the cruelty of rodeo events, there is poor acting & a goofy plot. Only thing good is seeing Polly Ann Young. Loretta Young's sister. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Logan M A boring, poorly made low-budget b-movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the early John Wayne but very good yes I recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas March 4, 2023 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review deke p Historic if only cuz very early, 1934, JOHN WAYNE cowboy rodeo talkie, from early days of talkies. Its been colorized. Unsophisticated. Some externded footage of actua BIG TIME RODEOS AND Crowds. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member TMFU's gritty rodeo scene is quite impressive. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Great classic... the acting is not some of the best work nor is the extra staff but his usual group surrounds him such as Gabby George Hayes and Yakima Kanutt.. may have misspelled that one.. but as usual the DUKE gets the girl... note it was re conditioned and colorized in the mid 1990's... John Wayne again as John Weston.. worth a watch for any Duke buff.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
