A lone gunman preys on stagecoaches carrying goId shipments from Arizona's prosperous Cottonwood Mine. The owner, Montana SIade, assumed control of the mine under suspicious circumstances - one of them being the fataI shooting of his partner. Since the goId 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 elicits a liveIy performance from Tyler, but the acting honors go to perennial heavy AI Bridge, who makes the most of a well-written viIlain roIe. McGowan's command of the materiaI and carefuI attention to detaiI makes When a Man Rides AIone an exceptional entry in this western series. |
