Tom Mix Western #9

Cowboy Cal and Bronko trade tall tales about outsized feet in the Old West, with Cal claiming his uncle's dogs are so enormous he has to back up to knock on doors—all in good fun for this lighthearted 1948 western yarn. A second yarn, "Three to One," finds Saddlehead in a fix with his doctor's orders: the prescription calls for three teaspoonfuls of medicine before bed, but he's only got one spoon to his name.

Joe Miller dreams of becoming a serious actor, but his inadvertent wisecracks keep getting written down and published in joke books, cementing his reputation as a comedian whether he likes it or not. When even his darkest musings come out funny, Joe discovers that his tragic aspirations might be doomed to become the very punchlines he never wanted to deliver.

Tom Mix steps in when his friend rancher Young asks for help with the man's wayward son, Harry—a returning Eastern dude nicknamed "Spurs" for the loudly jingling spurs he won't stop wearing. When the town bank is robbed and a guard is killed, Spurs becomes the prime suspect after a witness hears those telltale jingling spurs near the crime scene, but Tom's convinced the real culprits are still at large. As the mob thirsts for frontier justice, Tom must uncover the truth before an innocent man hangs for a crime he didn't commit.
