WAS OUTLAW COUNTRY A REHASH OF SANTE FE SADDLEMATES, 22 August 2004
Author: Mike Newton (frontrowkid2002@yahoo.com) from OXFORD, OHIO

The plot of OUTLAW COUNTRY has similarities to that of SANTE FE SADDLEMATES,made by Republic four years earlier starring Sunset Carson.Both men are law officers who are assigned to infiltrate the outlaw gang but first have to prove their worthiness by beating three of the governor's best men. In this respect, Sunset does a much better job than Lash in tromping the competition. Lash is looking for counterfeiters and Sunset is looking for diamond smugglers. Both join the respective gangs: Sunset taking the alias of a known outlaw who finally shows up to challenge his title. Lash meets his outlaw twin brother, the Frontier Phantom (who uses a shotgun and wears an ammunition vest. Lash convinces his brother to switch sides and help him. Lash and his brother change clothes to deceive the outlaws and in the final gun battle, the Frontier Phantom redeems himself and is allowed to go free. Footage from OUTLAW COUNTRY was later used to make a new film, THE FRONTIER PHANTOM (1952). The dual role character also appeared in the LASH LARUE Fawcett comic books. While producer Ron Ormond was known for his extensive use of stock footage in the LaRue westerns, this was perhaps the first time he had ever borrowed so liberally from the plot of another studio's western.
