This one wasn’t too bad, but no different to Trail Beyond; they seem to all have similar plots. To me they are like matinee specials, sort of repetitions of one another, just retold slightly different. Some of these flicks tend to have the same sets and even same cast. Such as Gabby Hayes, who starred in almost all 20-25 Lone Star productions, in exception of the trail beyond, which surprisingly he wasn’t in it.

Another Lone Star Production with John Wayne as the leading protagonist, this time we have Wayne facing some baddies who want to interfere in the construction of a road that contains a rich mine filled with gold; Again, Gold is the plot involving these low budget westerns...yet they dont fail to entertain me for the short lenght they run. This one is also part of the Brentwood Box set I had mentioned in my previous review. The quality of the picture on this one is actually crappier, there is plenty of scratches, bloats, spots. Funny how the box set says "Remastered" and in 5.1. Virtual Souround Sound...that is just horseshit!
The movie commences with Wayne arriving at a shop to obtain some new gear and weapons. After asking directions to get to Rainbow Valley (hence the title of the film) Wayne helps out a citizen who is being chased by some western thugs; after scarring the baddies away (momentarily that is) Wayne's character finds out the town is trying to get the town free of criminals. Little does the town know that Wayne is actually a undercover agent assigned to find out what is going on in the town. With The help of "Gabby" and some workers, Wayne manages to settle things by the law..oh howrighteous he is. No disrespect to The Duke, but this is one reason I prefer Eastwood. Unlike Wayne, he is not affraid of breaking the law, actually he is always against it, he does it by his book. Anyways, Wayne saves the day by letting the town know his real intentions and getting the bad guys in prison: The END
