Synopsis
Lash La Rue western with whodunit twist, with a missing body instead of missing cattle. "La Rue and his comic sidekick, Al St. John, dive into the plot early when they suspect something's amiss at a ranch hard by Rock Creek. Sure enough, badman George Chesebro has killed the rightful heir to the property to seize the premises himself. Saloon keeper Nancy Gates has witnessed the murder but she's afraid to inform the sheriff. After the usual moonlight search for the will, some hard ridin' and shootin', plus discovery of the body, Chesebro is exposed and the law triumphs." (Variety, December 10, 1947) "Lash LaRue investigates the murder of a ranch heir." Corel All Movie Guide 2
