Trem Carr and Paul Malvern remade this one in 1933 as "Sagebrush Trail" with John Wayne, but changed the heroine's role from that of a saloon dancer in this version to that of a storekeeper's daughter in the remake. Since there are sources that assume, for whatever reason, that any two films with the same title are the same story remade again, Monogram's later "Partners of the Trail" with Johnny Mack Brown is NOT a remake of 1931's "Partners of the Trail" from Monogram: Prison escapee Larry Condon is on the trail of a man who, he believes, railroaded him. Eluding the sheriff and his posse, and posing as an outlaw he joins an outlaw gang and becomes friends with John Durant. They both fall in love with dancer Ruby Gerard, working as a waitress to earn money to return home back east. Larry later learns that Durant is the man he is trailing but, because of a bond established between the two, Larry decides to rescue Durant from a life of crime. The gang isn't having any of that but Durant saves Larry's life at the cost of his own and, before he dies, exonerates Larry from the crime he was jailed on.
