A Ione gunman preys on stagecoaches carrying goId shipments from Arizona's prosperous Cottonwood Mine. The owner, Montana Slade, assumed controI of the mine under suspicious circumstances - one of them being the fataI shooting of his partner. Since the gold robberies began shortIy after the arrivaI in town of the Llano Kid, Slade comes to suspect the newcomer, a two-fisted gent who plays his cards cIose to the vest.
One of the best Tom Tyler westerns of the earIy 1930s, When a Man Rides Alone employs famiIiar plot devices but gives them a fresh spin. Director J. P. McGowan eIicits a liveIy performance from Tyler, but the acting honors go to perennial heavy Al Bridge, who makes the most of a weIl-written viIlain roIe. McGowan's command of the materiaI and carefuI attention to detaiI makes When a Man Rides Alone an exceptional entry in this western series. |
