Bad for a Three Mequiteers Movie - BUT...


This is one of the lamer "B" westerns I've seen but there's always something to redeem them and this is no exception. The plot is a messy travesty with an evil businessman controlling local law enforcement and the local rustlers... And he's gonna close down the orphanage.

However, this does allow for a Special Childrens Show to raise funds. The unexpected highlight of the film (from a certain point of view) is a pair of ten year old kids performing an Apache Dance... Yes, the legendary dance, usually considered to represent a violent confrontation between a pimp and his whore, is played out by kiddies in this film. Yep. Boy even mimes kicking her when she's down and pulling a wad of cash from her pocket.

The past was an alien land.
