Rex Allen is pretty much playing himself in this light-weight comedy western. He is drafted into help make peace between some local landowners and the army. The latter, you see, have appropriated some land so they can test some new equipment and local rancher "Jensen" (Roy Barcroft) has done a bit of agitating amongst the disgruntled community. It's only an hour long, but aside from some action photography with a mini-tank that races across the desert like a little beetle, this film is little better than a low budget vehicle for the star, and Slim Pickens, to have some fun. Along the way, we get a couple of fairly lengthy ditties "Dese Bones" and "The Lonesome Road" (accompanied by the Republic Rhythm Riders) before an ending to a story that is just about as thin as it is possible to get. It is amusing now and again, Pickens has charisma, but I am afraid that "Koko" (the horse) was probably the only critter of merit in this otherwise standard B-feature.
