a5c7b9f00b In a modified swipe/remake of John Waynes "Paradise Canyon," U.S. Marshal Taylor appoints Rocky Camron a Marshal with the task of solving a $100,000 bank robbery. Camron enlists the aid of his friends, Ken Maynard, Eddie DEan and Max Terhune. "Doc" Martin and his daughter, Ann, are fleeing a nearby town in a hurry,some of the local citizens are somewhat incensed regarding the imitation elixir sold them by Martin. Their medicine-show jalopy breaks down near the state line with a sheriff's posse in hot pursuit. Maynard happens along and tows their vehicle over the state line with his white stallion, Tarzan. An ambush attempt is made on Maynard's lifethe bank robbers, aware of the coming of a Marshal, mistake Maynard for Camron because of the identical white stallions ridden by both. Maynard, Dean and Terhune , posingperformers with Martin's traveling medicine show, hunt for the bandits.
Sent to investigate a payroll robbery, Marshall Rocky meets his old friends Ken, Eddie, and Max. He has the serial numbers and when Pop puts on his medicine show they get one of the bills. This enables Ken to see through Sorrell's scheme that threw the blame on an innocent rancher and he sets out to prove it.
Lawman Rocky Camron recruits old pals Ken Maynard, Eddie Dean, and Max Terhune to help ferret out a gang of big-time bank robbers. The quartet take cover in a medicine show in order to get close to the villains, with each man doing his particular specialty for the show.<br/><br/>A final starring role for Maynard, this and other later pictures get a lot of flack because of Ken's weight. However, this semi-remake of the John Wayne vehicle Paradise Canyon (written/directed by the same writer) is actually quite entertaining, with Ken still a lot of fun to watch, performing some of the same cowboy tricks on the medicine show that initially attracted the attention of Hollywood some twenty-years earlier.<br/><br/>Also, Eddie Dean belts out a handful of great songs and Max Terhune brings along his dummy. Rounding out the cast is western character actor and final Frankenstein Monster Glenn Strange, pretty Ruth Roman, and eternal heavy Charles King, a villain who seems to have come back more times than Freddy Krueger!<br/><br/>Instead of being Maynard's last, it should have been the first in a Three Mesquiteers/Range Busters type series. I would have paid money to see it.
In the oddest of coincidences, this is the second Western in a row I've watched, picked entirely at random, to take place in a town called Red Bluff. The other was the 1942 Rough Riders picture, "Riders of the West". I don't recall the state ever being mentioned in the stories, but a quick Google search brought up a bunch of hits for Red Bluff, California.<br/><br/>"Harmony Trail" has a pretty interesting team up between star Ken Maynard, Eddie Dean, and Max Terhune, and it made me wonder whether this was one of the traditional Western 'B' trios that became a staple of the genre. Terhune had been a member of The Three Mesquiteers, but in this case, it was simply a matter of putting a number of top draws together. Actually, for Maynard, this was his last hurrah following a stint with Hoot Gibson and Bob Steelepart of Monogram Pictures' Trail Blazers series. By this time, Maynard's girth had gained quite a few inches, and he's quite paunchy, no longer the solid, youthful looking cowboy that he was at the start of his career in the mid 1920's.<br/><br/>In the story, the three buddies hook up with a traveling medicine show to get the goods on an outlaw gang who robbed twenty five thousand dollars. In an interesting gimmick, the baddies sell a herd of five hundred cattle to a local rancher for precisely the same amount, and deposit the stolen marked money in a bank account, thereby throwing suspicion on a local rancher. The main villain, Jim Sorrell is played by veteran bad guy Charles King.<br/><br/>Besides bringing in the hoodlums, the picture offers a side story with Eddie Dean romancing Ruth Roman's character, the daughter of the medicine show owner. Dean, one of the top cowboy crooners, sings the title song along with a couple of others, including an out of place but entertaining boogie woogie tune. What's interesting about the medicine show set up is that Max Terhune winds up delivering the sales pitch usually done by the snake oil salesman. I wondered about that for a while, especially since Pop Martin (Robert McKenazie) wound up with virtually nothing to do for his part in the story.<br/><br/>If you're wondering about my summary quote above, I would be too,it doesn't seem like a comment that would be coming out of a Western. Credit that to Terhune's ventriloquist dummy Elmer in response to learning that the local sheriff would be tracking the bad guys. I've seen Terhune's act with Elmer in a few of his Three Mesquiteers films, but here's a bit of trivia coming out of this flick. Care to guess Elmer's last name? - it's Sneezeweed!!!
