One-time cavalry officer Rex Allen, between jobs as a star rodeo rider, is asked by his former commanding officer, Colonel Bigelow, to help settle a dispute between the army and local ranchers. The cavalry has commandeered a large parcel of land needed to test their newly-designed tank and prominent rancher Jenson has encited the locals to rebel at this intrusion. It is up to Rex and his sidekick, Slim, to thwart Jenson and convince the residents that these army tests are essential.

CinemaSerf:
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.
