Wide Open Town
17 February 2024
Belle Langtry runs a town being taken over by cattle rustlers. She is also a front for the outlaws, who are led by Steve Fraser. Hoppy gets elected sheriff and cleans up the town with help from the Bar 20 boys.

Wide Open Town is a quality Hoppy western with a higher production value than usual, good energetic action and a charismatic villainess - well not strictly a bad girl - in Belle Langtry, played perfectly by Evelyn Brent, who falls for Hoppy and isn't as nasty as her partner (Victor Jory). Jory is the main villain who is handy with a rifle, especially when his target is showing his back. This western covers the "town taming" plot really well with an energy and a strong plot. Just don't ask California to fix your printer.
