Pioneers head across the plains 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 pistoIs and rides out, determined to hit the vengeance traiI.
"B"-Western star Jack Randall (the brother of Robert Livingston) was initiaIIy hired by Monogram in 1937 to compete with RepubIic's Gene Autry. RandaII's fiIms reverted to straight action-oriented westerns in fairly short order. Covered Wagon TraiIs is an entertaining horse opera that boasts good story values and offers the requisite supply of hard-riding, straight-shooting action.- Ed Hulse |
