MYSTERY MAN 1944 (PLATINUM)

This is another fun Hopalong Cassidy picture.

This film opens with Hoppy William Boyd) along with California (Andy Clyde) and Jimmy Rogers (Jimmy Rogers) rounding up a group of men called "The Trilling Gang" who are led by Bud Trilling (Don Costello).

Trilling soon breaks his gang out of jail and they rustle the Bar-20 herd for revenge. Hopp gets the herd back, but Trilling then poses as a Sheriff. This way he gets the herd back and has Hoppy and his friends thrown in jail for tustling!!

Hoppy breaks out of jail with the help of the Sheriff's daughter named Diane (Eleanor Stewart) and then he proceeds to again fdgo after Trilling.

As you can tell this is a very fast moving plot and it runs just a bit over one hour. It'a a very fun ride even though I thought the Sheriff was a real idiot as he always seemed to believe the crooks instead of Hoppy, but then again that's what makes a great storyline.

The rest of the cast includes FRancis McDonald, Forrest Taylor and Jack Rockwell. This is a sure bet for western fans.
