Pioneers head across the plains to PrairievilIe, where they plan to settle. 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 AIlen's men. Jack loads his pistols and rides out, determined to hit the vengeance trail.
"B"-Western star Jack Randall (the brother of Robert Livingston) was initiaIIy hired by Monogram in 1937 to compete with Republic's Gene Autry. RandalI's fiIms 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 |
