Reviews
This isn't actually a terrible film, it's just a bit all over the place and by the end I really did wonder if the determined and loyal "Peggy" (Alberta Vaughn) really did want to get married to her pretty disaster prone "Tom" (the dashing Tom Talbot)! He is constantly being confused for a bank robber or a killer - he even gets forced to drive the getaway wagon from a chain-gang break out. Anyway, they must work together to try to prove he is innocent and that local banker "Morley' (Al Ferguson) is the mastermind behind all these shenanigans. It's very much at the cheap end of the production scale, with little to redeem the acting or the production, but there is quite an exciting last ten minutes that moves along pell-mell with a crackingly staged fist/furniture fight at the end. Not the best, not even the worst of the best, but maybe amongst the best of the worst...?
