Ken Maynard responds to Hoot's plan to catch the stagecoach robbers, "I don't know gentlemen some of Hoot's ideas have an uncomfortable way of kickin' back." The Death Valley Rangers is one of several popular western movie trends of putting three stars in a series of movies. Hoot Gibson, Bob Steele and Maynard are enlisted by Edwards (Bryant Wasburn) to save the gold shipments. Henchmen Blackie (Charles King) and Red (George Chesebro) are part of Jim Kirk's (Weldon Heyburn) gang and Steele has got to go undercover to expose their plans. The daughter of Ranger Captain Ainsley (Forrest Taylor) the beautiful Lorna Ainsley (Linda Brent) proves to be a pleasant distraction for the rangers. Karl Hackett as Doc Thorne adds a touch of 40's type sci-fi to the mix with his lab in an old mine camouflaging the gold with a chemical process. Also, great to see 'Sam the bartender' from "Gunsmoke" fame, Glenn Strange here as The Marshal of Death Valley.
