Rancher Tom Haggerty is killed trying to stop a gun battle between his hot-headed brother Red and the sheriff, who is trying to repossess Haggerty's ranch for defaulting on a bank loan. After Tom's son Steve learns of his father's death, he is reluctantly persuaded by his Uncle Red to help rob the local bank. While waiting to hit another bank in the next town, Steve becomes town marshal to get inside information on the town's dealings, but soon takes his job to heart when he falls in love with Ellen, the banker's daughter. His honor is put on the line when he must face not only the guns of the local saloon-keeper's gang, but the wrath of his uncle when he finds out his nephew has betrayed him.
It&#39;s not unusual for these B Westerns to offer up a song that mirrored the title of the picture, however the campfire tune sung here had to do with &#39;The Outlaw Trail&#39;. So naturally I&#39;m wondering why they didn&#39;t change either the name of the picture or the song lyrics to match each other. With all the oaters that came out of the era I knew there had to be one with that title so I checked the IMDb database and there was a 1944 flick with Hoot Gibson and Bob Steele going by &quot;Outlaw Trail&quot;. I guess I&#39;ll be on the lookout for that one now.<br/><br/>I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve seen a Tim Holt Western where he wasn&#39;t seconded by Richard Martin as Chico Rafferty. Martin hooked up with Holt a few years later in another string of pictures, in this one his nominal partner is a grizzled character named Whopper portrayed by Lee &#39;Lasses&#39; White. The comedic aspect of his character doesn&#39;t come into play until later in the picture, by which time he handcuffs himself to a storefront dummy along with some other animated hi-jinks. That dummy by the way, seemed to have a bit of a Clark Gable vibe going for him except for being on the short side.<br/><br/>Against his better judgment, Holt&#39;s character turns bank robber at the beginning of the story in line with his Uncle Red&#39;s (Morris Ankrum) wishes, following the death of Steve Haggerty&#39;s (Holt) father. Even with slow communication in the Old West I had to wonder why Banker Grant (Joseph Eggenton) in Remington didn&#39;t see the coincidence in Steve depositing twenty thousand dollars in his bank, a sum that matched what was robbed from the nearby bank in Cedar Fork. I don&#39;t think matinée fans of the day would have questioned it.<br/><br/>Well Steve&#39;s not a bad guy for long if he ever was one. By helping to thwart a bank robbery by an opposing gang of outlaws, he&#39;s made town marshal of Remington with Whopper as his deputy. Now all he has to do is get the goods on villain Joel Nesbitt (Roy Barcroft) after withdrawing the original twenty grand and returning it to the sheriff of Cedar Fork. This might sound a little more complicated than it needed to be but it made for an interesting story.<br/><br/>The biggest head scratcher for me though was the final shootout back in Remington when Steve decides to confront Nesbitt and his henchmen. With Uncle Red deciding that blood is thicker than whiskey, he helps nephew Steve take out the bad guys. Which was a minor miracle seeing as how Steve and Red walked right out in the open and took out six concealed outlaws to save the day. How&#39;d they do that?
From a story by Arthur T. Horman, the screenplay by Norton S. Parker gives us, without being blatant or obvious, an unusual opening that summarizes the reason for the upcoming action.<br/><br/>A rancher&#39;s brother is battling the sheriff who is coming to foreclose (shades of today&#39;s economy!) but the rancher himself puts a stop to the shooting. His son, played by Tim Holt, is returning home and the rancher wants peace for his arrival.<br/><br/>The brother-uncle is played by Morris Ankrum, more often, too often, relegated to being a with but here in a pivotal role that showed he should have been given more bigger parts.<br/><br/>His partner in the shooting is &quot;Whopper,&quot; a name over-used in Tim Holt westerns, and here played by Lee &quot;Lasses&quot; White, a very capable actor but given some pretty lousy lines. As is also unfortunately common in Tim Holt westerns, the &quot;humor&quot; isn&#39;t funny.<br/><br/>However, the story is a good one, and, with the great Roy Barcroft and the great Glenn Strange, it is well presented, and thus overall &quot;The Bandit Trail&quot; is worth watching.
