Roy&#39;s boss has inherited a very large ranch but the will keeps him from selling it although his widow could. Lucky Miller is out to get control of the ranch so he has a girl come west to marry him. Then after the wedding he has his henchman kill the owner. Roy is nearby and when the murder gun is switched with his, Roy finds himself in jail.
Silver Spurs has the kind of plot situation more involved in one of those Philo Vance murder mysteries than with a Roy Rogers western. The fact that we see all the villainous machinations of John Carradine and his henchmen out in the open robs it of being a mystery. But Silver Spurs still rates as a pretty good Roy Rogers western.<br/><br/>For a plot this is interesting and unusual for a western. It involves playboy Jerome Cowan who among other things has a ranch that Roy Rogers is the foreman of. The people in the area want him to give the railroad a right of way, but Cowan is too busy partying to pay any attention to business.<br/><br/>Apparently Jerome&#39;s dad knew what an idiot he was raising so the terms of his will are that the ranch can&#39;t be sold, but if he dies his widow can. So Carradine who owns the local gambling house arranges for a mail order bride for the well known playboy. Which perks the interest of sob sister reporter Phyllis Brooks and she comes west and marries the guy to see what the story is. Little did Phyllis suspect.<br/><br/>The emphasis is on action and plot rather than Roy&#39;s singing. Still he gets to do a couple of standards the great Al Jolson song Back In Your Own Backyard and Tumbling Tumbleweeds which was written by Sons Of The Pioneers head Bob Nolan. And Roy gets as a sidekick Smiley Burnette who takes his Frog Millhouse character from those Gene Autry flicks where he sidekicked with Gene before Autry went into the service.<br/><br/>Burnette even gets a love interest himself with Joyce Compton who is the sidekick of Phyllis Brooks. <br/><br/>All in all a pretty good western for Roy Rogers.
Excellent Roy Rogers vehicle with a great, wily performance by John Carradine as an added bonus.<br/><br/>Good pacing and good direction (and yes, a few very good stunts) place this way above similar movies. Even the usually annoying side-kick role (with this one, it&#39;s Smiley Burnette as &quot;Frog&quot;) isn&#39;t that bad at all.<br/><br/>Also, far less corny than some would first expect if you&#39;ve seen others with similar plots from this time period.<br/><br/>There are a few very good action sequences, and some very funny lines if you&#39;re in the right mood.<br/><br/>The story mostly involves a &quot;mail-order bride&quot;; Mary the reporter going in to get a story about the &quot;playboy&quot; rancher and what is obviously a &quot;phoney deal&quot;. Rogers is only trying to help his boss. However, the rancher is shot (admittedly, it was one unbelievably good shot through a car window from a fair distance) and Roy is conveniently framed when he shows up at the accident scene to check things out. Of course, you know that everything is bound to turn out for the best. There is also time for a couple good old songs.<br/><br/>10/10.
