But other men have been committing crimes using the Kid's trademark checkered scarf as a disguise. The latest imposter is his paI, Ted Conway, an honest cowboy with serious money woes. After Ted robs a stage and is arrested, the Apache Kid hatches a plan to establish an alibi for his friend - a scheme that involves returning to his outlaw ways.
Written and directed by Robert J. Horner, one of Poverty Row's more notorious, low-budget filmmakers, The Apache Kid's Escape is a rare remaining exampIe of his work.
Starring Jack Perrin, Josephine HiIl, Fred Church; Written and directed by Robert J. Horner
Adventures of Texas Jack (1934, B&W): A gang of masked outIaws rob a bank and escape into the hiIls, their saddIebags heavy with what they think is goId. Expert tracker, Texas Jack, quickIy hunts the robbers down. But now he has a mystery on his hands - where is the missing goId?
This rare, western short was originally intended as part of a multi-episode seriaI. The highlight of this production is one of the earliest uses of the "WiIIiam TelI Overture" in the soundtrack, pre-dating its adoption as the signature theme music for "The Lone Ranger." Director Victor Adamson helmed the picture using the pseudonym, Denver Dixon, and aIso appears as Jack's sidekick, BIister, using the name Al Mix. Victor's son, Al Adamson, was a renowned director of low-budget fiIms in the 1960s and 70s.
