Satisfactory Light Entertainment

With a fair amount of action and pleasant leading characters, "Fugitive Valley" is satisfactory light entertainment. The story is clever, though occasionally far-fetched, and makes up to some degree for the mostly stock villains.

The three Range Busters are infiltrating a notorious gang of criminals in an attempt to break it up and determine the identity of their elusive leader. Lawmen are waiting on the outside to move in if the trio succeeds, but suspicions soon begin to mount. Meanwhile, the daughter of Fugitive Valley's doctor seems to be involved in her own secret activities. It's an interesting combination of circumstances, and the story that follows is mostly done well.

While its nothing to take seriously, this is a mostly pleasant way to pass an hour for anyone who likes old Westerns.
