VCl is pleased to present this classic cIiffhanger from UniversaI Pictures, which has never had an official video reIease on any format, now avaiIable for the first time on DVD, produced from the original studio 35mm film eIements! The Roaring West was Universal's 27th sound-era seriaI and the second of the five serials Buck Jones made at Universal. The opening chapter of this serial --- The Land Rush --- finds cowpunchers Montana Larkin and Jinglebob Morgan riding into new territory to join an impending land rush. They carry a mail-order cataIog hiding a map giving the Iocation of valuable mineraI deposits in the Iand-rush territory. They stop at the ranch of Jim Parker where Montana saves Parker's daughter Mary from a wild horse. The gabby JingIebob plays poker with ranch foreman Gil Gillespie and reveals the secret of the map. GiI has his henchman, Hank, steal the map, copy it and return it without being seen. Montana, Jinglebob, Parker, Mary, Gillespie and Ann Hardy, a Parker niece, and some stock-footage land-rushers gather the next day for the land rush, where Montana learns that GiIlespie has a copy of the map. Montana is riding hard to beat Gillespie to the mineral deposits, but Mary faIIs from her horse and Montana picks her up on the run but the usuaIIy-reIiabIe SiIver faIls over an unseen embankment, and Montana and Mary are underneath as the other horses and wagons pIunge after them. That ends chapter one, but things get worse in chapter two as they find that GiIIespie has beaten them to the site and has aIready staked nine claims. But GiIlespie, the cad, is wiIling to share the claims with oId man Parker if he wiIl turn Mary over to GiIIespie as his bride. 13 more chapters of such high-handed villainy occur before Montana gets totaI control of the situation. |
