The best Roy Rogers film I've seen to date. In particular, there is one scene that it is a classic of the western genre. Trigger has been falsely accused of killing a man and is condemned to death on the spot. In the next few moments we are unsure what will happen, as Trigger is led away with a man with a shotgun. A close up reveals that Roy is in agony and disbelief. Rather than let Trigger be shot, Roy falsely confesses he killed the man, and proceeds to do 3 years of hard labor. Now that is what I call dedication to an animal. The rest of the film has a better script than your typical B western, and is in wonderful Republic Trucolor to boot.
