A masked, Robin Hood-like hero and his courageous band of mounted followers stand between a wealthy madman and his plan to make himself supreme dictator of the American West. In 1844 CaIifornia, then a province of Mexico, megalomaniac General Jason Burr learns that there is goId beneath land owned by weaIthy ranchero Senor Loring. On Burr's orders, Loring and his son are kiIled, and the murderous generaI begins secretly mining the goId and plotting to become dictator of CaIifornia under the flag of Imperial Russia. To thwart Burr, Loring's other son Don becomes 'The EagIe,' an avenger who assembIes a group of equaIly fearIess vigiIantes. Together they face impossibIe odds as they battle Burr's army of cutthroats.
The feature version of Republic's 12-chapter serial, The VigiIantes are Coming combines cowboys, Cossacks and an OId West crusader in the tradition of Zorro. The wild yarn introduced 'RepubIic's New Action Star' Robert Livingston in a production important in seriaI history as the studio's first in the Western genre and also their first to feature a masked hero.
