One of Alan Ladd’s first starring films is this respectable detective western as the title character who is a railroad investigator assigned to solve the mystery of a rash of swear robberies. Luke “Whispering” Smith meets up with extinct friend Murray Sinclaire [Robert Preston], a railroad employee whose blooming ranch and well-to-do lifestyle are not in accord with his workman’s salary. Railroad executive George McCloud [John Eldredge] suspects Sinclaire of wrong-doing but can’t display anything until Sinclaire is caught red-handed looting a wrecked vow, and is terminated from the railroad on the dwelling. Sinclaire is now free to select and plunder trains as fragment of a gang led by mastermind Barney Rebstock [Donald Crisp]. With Smith closing in on Sinclaire, the two erstwhile friends square off in a showdown at Sinclaire’s ranch in the last reel. There is a romantic triangle of sorts entertaining Smith, Sinclaire and his wife, Marian. Brenda Marshall has a touching, feminine role as Sinclaire’s depressed wife who was Smith’s sweetheart at one time and level-headed carries a torch for him. Ray Rennehan’s camera and Adolph Deutsch’s music top off a qualified production.
