This is a top notch entry in the series. A man named Ben Pendelton (Britt Wood) discovers a huge gold strike and is set upon and killed by outlaws that want the mine for themselves.
Ben dies and the mine location is unknown. A relative, Trudy Pendleton (Elenor Stewart) comes to claim the mine. Hoppy (William Boyd), Lucky (Russell Hayden) and California (Andy Clyde) come to town as well since California is also a very distant relative.
Hopalong tries to help Trudy but is constantly interrupted by Ace Gibson (Morris Ankrum). Gibson is the man behind the killing of Ben and he works his way into a friendship with Trudy in order to get the mine.
Cassidy and his friends try and solve the mystery of the mines location as well as stop Ace from swindling Trudy.
This is a fast paced entry and director Lesley Selander knows the material well. Any Hoppy fan will like this film. One of the best.
