Lucky Larkin (1930)
Colonel Lee, a homesteader, is the object of terrorists who want to drive him off the range so that his horses cannot be entered in the county races, and he refuses an offer of Martin Brierson to buy him out. Pete, Brierson's brother, in hiding because of his criminal record, burns the colonel's barn and injures his horses. Convinced of Brierson's responsibility for the terror tactics, "Lucky" Larkin plans to ride Tarzan, the colonel's pet colt. Brierson does his best to disqualify the horse, but Larkin tricks him and wins the race. Larkin captures Pete and forces him to confess. The Brierson brothers are brought to justice, and Larkin wins Emmy Lou, a homesteader's daughter.

Undescribable Perfection
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
