There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Copyright 8 February 1952 by RKO Radio Pictures, Inc. No New York opening. U.S. release: 29 March 1952. No recorded U.K. release date. Australian release: 26 August 1954. 6 reels. 60 minutes.SYNOPSIS: "The exciting story deals with the adventures of Holt and Martin who become angry when they are over-charged for the right to travel over a private road... Fast, hard-riding, quick-shooting entertainment, this thriller was ably directed by Lesley Selander from the sparkling story by Norman Houston." - RKO publicity.COMMENT: Like Pistol Harvest (1951), this is a leisurely Houston-written western, with another solid role for Bob Wilke. Selander has directed with his usual competence, though hampered by a smaller budget than Pistol Harvest or Riders of the Range (1950).Production values are thus not particularly impressive. What's worse, most oater fans will probably not take too kindly to the disproportionate amount of talk to action.

Tim and Chito disguise themselves as Robin Hoods when they arrive at a small town to discover that local landowner Milo Brand who owns the road to the cattle market is charging criminal rates to cross the toll area. They give the money they take from him back to the ranchers who can then afford the permits, but when Brand's clerk is murdered during a hold-up, the guilty party makes it look like the work of the Robin Hoods.One of the last pairings of Tim & Chito sees Tim rather than Chito end up with the girl. Robert J Wilke is his usual villainous role & silent star Tom Tyler has one of his final roles as Larkin.An enjoyable 60 minute B western perfect for a Saturday morning viewing!

Two cowboys (Tim Holt, Richard Martin)help cattle drivers against a ruthless land baron (Stanley Blystone) by stealing from him and giving the drivers the money so that they have enough money to buy a permit from him that will allow them to move their cattle across his land.Watchable Tim Holt western, typically fast paced and quite enjoyable, albeit routine. There are a number of shoot outs, bar room brawls and obligatory love interests thrown in to please fans of the genre looking for a decent time waster. Holt ensures that the audience knows that he and Martin are inspired by Robin Hood by explicitly making reference to the famed man's deeds.
