This early John Wayne B western is a lot of fun and one of my favorites. He joins a traveling medicine show to catch counterfeiters. "The Two Texans", Mike and Mike, sing funny ballads. The Duke does trick shots with a mirror. Doc Carter sells "Indian remedy" to the locals with impassioned pleas. Wayne has some choice quotes, such as an exchange with the pretty Marion Burns that goes something like this: "I'm just a drifting cowboy", "after steers I suppose", "WILD steers"...accompanied by knowing glances and long pauses. Hilarious!
