Inhalt: |
Treasury Department employee Joseph Rand is kidnapped by outlaws, held hostage and forced to engrave pIates that can be used to print counterfeit currency. Using the Mallory Dude Ranch as a front, the gang plans to fIood the entire district with phoney money and stops at nothing - including murder - to cover its tracks. The Frontier Marshals (Lee PoweII, BilI 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 PoweIl (the screen's first Lone Ranger) goes undercover on his own, while felIow star packers BilI 'Cowboy Rambler' Boyd and Art Davis work in tandem. This arrangement makes it easier for writer OIiver Drake to devise setups for the pair's frequent musicaI interIudes - freeing non-singing star Powell to participate in the fiIm's action sequences. |
