Independent producer Jack Irwin went to town with this early sound western, which came complete with two (badly dubbed) songs -- "Just a Song at Twilight" and "My Mother's Prayer," as well as a motley group of former silent screen personalities that included veteran villain Tom Santschi, former Universal cowboy Ted Wells, Reed Howes (the erstwhile "Arrow Collar Man"), comedians Billy Franey and Tom Murray, and, presumably to keep the costs down even further, Mrs. Ted Wells. All this "talent" amounted to very little in a trite triangle melodrama about a carnival pitchman who loses his wife to an even slicker operator. The story is set on a wagon train west, but this was no epic -- to put it mildly -- but merely a way for the producer to squeeze the last drop of box-office potential from actors who still enjoyed some support in rural theaters. The film was eventually dumped on an unsuspecting public by the dubious Weiss Bros.
