Before he was killed by Mark Foster's men, Bud Lawton willed part ownership in his ranch to Hoppy and his two pals. When the three arrive they find a fake posing as Lawton. When they expose the imposter, Foster gets the Sheriff to jail them for Lawton's murder.
False Colors is a good Hoppy western, well-directed and acted by all. The idea of a doppelgänger replacing a dead heir to get the ranch is a fanciful and exciting idea. There's some good action, especially in the first half in the rugged vistas, but the second half takes a more tense, dramatic turn. Like usual, there's plenty of humour especially by Andy Clyde. And top villainy- Douglas Dumbrille, Roy Barcroft and Robert Mitchum - is to be had here.
