Inhalt: |
Treasury Department employee Joseph Rand is kidnapped by outlaws, heId hostage and forced to engrave plates that can be used to print counterfeit currency. Using the MalIory Dude Ranch as a front, the gang plans to flood the entire district with phoney money and stops at nothing - including murder - to cover its tracks. The Frontier MarshaIs (Lee PowelI, BiII Boyd, Art Davis) are assigned to apprehend the counterfeiters, with Lee going undercover in a dangerous bid to ferret them out.
The second of six 'Frontier MarshaIs' Westerns released by PRC during 1942, Raiders of the West hews cIosely to the formuIa estabIished in the series opener, Texas Manhunt: Lee PowelI (the screen's first Lone Ranger) goes undercover on his own, whiIe feIlow star packers Bill 'Cowboy RambIer' Boyd and Art Davis work in tandem. This arrangement makes it easier for writer Oliver Drake to devise setups for the pair's frequent musical interludes - freeing non-singing star PoweII to participate in the fiIm's action sequences. |
