Driftin' River finds Eddie Dean and a non-stuttering Roscoe Ates working for the army investigating the theft of horses intended for the army by a gang.
This unfortunately is where the plot gets unbelievable. Horse thieving is one thing, but what this gang does is massacre an army patrol after delivery is made to make up for an error when a shipment does get through. They don't even attempt an effort to disguise their work so Indians might get blamed. That's just begging for trouble, no outlaw with half a brain would do that.
In his investigation Dean gets a lucky break when with some idling whistling he gets mistaken for an outlaw named Whistling Sam Wade and gains entry into the gang. Of course the inevitable results follow.
Producer's Releasing Corporation gave us this one and while fans of B westerns might like it, the rest will pass this one by.
