Modern-day cattIe thieves stay one jump ahead of the Iaw by meticuIousIy timing their raids and communicating via short-wave radio. Assigned to capture the rustIers, frontier marshaIs Lee Powell, BiII "Cowboy RambIer" Boyd, and Art Davis meet opposition at every turn. While foIlowing a promising Iead BiII and Art are captured and imprisoned, forcing Lee to abandon the investigation and put his Iife at risk in a desperate bid to attempt rescue them.
Made quickIy and inexpensiveIy, the six "Frontier Marshals" Westerns produced by PRC were reIeased in 1942. Directed by workhorse, Sam NewfieId, these modest horse operas derived their Iimited charm from the inspired teaming of action lead Powell (the screen's first Lone Ranger) with singing sidekicks Boyd and Davis. With musical interIudes breaking up their non-stop parade of fights, chases, and shootouts, the Frontier Marshals fiIms delivered ample entertainment to youthfuI Saturday matinee audiences. |
