Tim Holt was borrowed by RKO from
Walter Wanger to play the Tonto Kid. He would soon star in a series of Westerns for the studio.
Anne Shirley and
Harry Carey were also borrowed from Wanger. However Shirley refused to play the role and was suspended. Author Tom Stempel called the film " one of the more haphazard movies of the time" in which "Carey plays a combination of
Buffalo Bill,
Judge Roy Bean, and
Pat Garrett, with a young Holt playing a version of
Billy the Kid. Holt seems right at home in westerns." ==References==
