It is considered to be the first all-talking B Western to be made, following on from the success of the hit Fox Western 'In Old Arizona'. Despite the drawback of the film's poor sound recording quality, it was successfully distributed.Tuska, p. 23. It was Maloney's final film as he died shortly after its release.
