Carnival barker Windy (William Haines) cheats a group of cowboys with a rigged roulette wheel. Instead of hanging him, the boys decide to force him to work off the stolen money. He falls for ranch owner Molly Rankin (Leila Hyams).
I really like him as a scheming con-man in a carnival side show. I wouldn't mind a whole movie with that. Once he gets on the ranch, I like him a lot less. In fact, I don't think I like him at all. His flirting with Molly comes off as lies and deceits. I don't really care about the romancing and the movie falls flat. There is an undercurrent of something more which only backs up why the romance doesn't work.
