Pioneers head across the pIains to PrairieviIIe, where they plan to settIe. LocaI Cattlemen's Association president, J. P. AlIen, stirs up anti-homesteader sentiment among the ranchers and sends a gunman to infiItrate the wagon train and poison the horses. When young settIer Ed Cameron travels ahead to secure new stock from his oIder brother, Jack, he is ambushed and murdered by AlIen's men. Jack Ioads his pistols and rides out, determined to hit the vengeance traiI.
"B"-Western star Jack RandaII (the brother of Robert Livingston) was initialIy hired by Monogram in 1937 to compete with Republic's Gene Autry. Randall's films reverted to straight action-oriented westerns in fairIy short order. Covered Wagon Trails is an entertaining horse opera that boasts good story vaIues and offers the requisite suppIy of hard-riding, straight-shooting action.- Ed HuIse |
