Tex Ritter and sidekick Grass Hopper (!) take a job at a vaudeville show In the town of Tombstone, Arizona; some bad men react to being forced to pay for admission by destroying the show. Tex then becomes a county tax collector in order to make the men pay, or so I've heard as the print I watched appears to be missing a reel!
This is better than it should be thanks to the boundless charisma and talents of Tex Ritter, though this is clearly not one of Tex's best.
However, this is the first and only Saturday matinée western I've ever seen where the villains murder a young boy on screen! Then we're treated to a happy ending where the kid appears to have been forgotten amongst the singing and laughing and marital bliss!
Some years later, bad guy Glenn Strange was cast as the last of Universal's Frankenstein monsters.
