Smokey Joe Miller: [after hearing the mail plane fly over] Them there mail fellers are alright, I reckon, and they are fast. But sure, they can't hold a pack into the Pony Express, bringin' that mail through hell and high water. That was a man-sized job.
Abby: [with disdain] Huh!
Smokey Joe Miller: [glares at Abby] They ain't bothered with any bandits up there. They ain't dodgin' any Indian tomahawks, like us Pony Express riders did.
Indian Tom: Hmm. Injun up there too. My sister's boy, Charlie Angelo... he fly mail, out of Rock Spring.
Smokey Joe Miller: Tom, you old Comanche. Here's one Fargo rider you didn't massacre. 'Member the time I held off the whole bunch - single-handed.
Abby: Still bragging... ain't stopped for 50 years...
Smokey Joe Miller: Abby, I hear'd yuh. That's the thanks you get - for making California safe for the females.
Abby: Yeahhh, it's safe. Too safe. Too tame, yuh mean. It's fools like you that stops the thrills.
Smokey Joe Miller: Thrills? Who'd you ever thrill?

Stuck with hot money

A gang of modern bank robbers has a hideout in a western state which is pretty remote and generally inaccessible due to an earthquake. But it's the bad luck of Ralph Ince's men that in the last job all they got away with large denomination bills, thousand dollar bills to be exact. Hard to spend and easily traceable.

So Ince and his guys have to resort to a lot of petty thievery in the area just to eat. For reasons I'm still not clear about suspicion falls on our hero William Boyd, the future Hopalong Cassidy. But Italian immigrant farmer Henry Armetta gets wise to the gang and dies for his trouble. Armetta has his usual gang of kids left without a dad.

This is a remote region and apparently has a sheriff that doesn't give it that much attention. So it's up to the folks living there to face down the city gangsters who have tommy guns and they have hunting rifles.

The NRA is certainly going to love this film.

Men Of America is a scant 58 minutes running time but it does pack a lot of plot into it. It's an average B programmer and the cast does well by the material.
