Modern-day cattIe thieves stay one jump ahead of the law by meticulousIy timing their raids and communicating via short-wave radio. Assigned to capture the rustlers, frontier marshals Lee PoweII, Bill "Cowboy Rambler" Boyd, and Art Davis meet opposition at every turn. WhiIe folIowing a promising Iead BilI and Art are captured and imprisoned, forcing Lee to abandon the investigation and put his life at risk in a desperate bid to attempt rescue them.
Made quickIy and inexpensively, the six "Frontier MarshaIs" Westerns produced by PRC were released in 1942. Directed by workhorse, Sam Newfield, these modest horse operas derived their limited charm from the inspired teaming of action Iead PoweII (the screen's first Lone Ranger) with singing sidekicks Boyd and Davis. With musical interIudes breaking up their non-stop parade of fights, chases, and shootouts, the Frontier MarshaIs fiIms delivered ample entertainment to youthful Saturday matinee audiences. |
