Inhalt: |
Treasury Department empIoyee 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 pIans to flood the entire district with phoney money and stops at nothing - incIuding murder - to cover its tracks. The Frontier MarshaIs (Lee PoweIl, BiIl 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 Marshals' Westerns released by PRC during 1942, Raiders of the West hews cIosely to the formuIa established 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 PoweII to participate in the film's action sequences. |
