Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA four-minute-long scene near the end of this film is an exact copy - line-for-line and shot-for-shot - of a scene in Tim Holt's Come on Danger (1942). It begins with the hero and two sidekicks listening outside a window as the villain discusses murdering the heroine, followed by a fight in which the villain's cook comes out of the kitchen and disrupts the fight by cutting the rope that holds up a suspended wagon-wheel chandelier. In "Come on Danger" the hero is Holt and his sidekicks are Ray Whitley and Lee 'Lasses' White. In this film the hero is George O'Brien, and his sidekicks are Whitley (again) and none other than Holt. In both versions, Holt pretends to be injured and staggers past two guards, then he falls over while his two companions jump the distracted guards.
- GoofsWhen Jack is dunking Larry in the water trough after the fight at the beginning, the amount of water on Larry's shirt changes between shots.
- Quotes
Captain Jack Steele: You were right about Sanderson being a big man in this town, Happy.
Happy: He's a plenty tough hombre too, if you ask me. I don't blame that old rancher for what he said and done.
Captain Jack Steele: You know, Sanderson doesn't appeal to me anymore than he does to you; but, he's probably acting within his rights. You know, the law makes us do a lot of unpleasant things sometimes. Like going after this Alvarez girl.

Music and Lyrics by Albert Hay Malotte
Performed by an unidentified guitarist in the Pecos City Bar
George O'Brien stars in The Renegade Ranger and he's gone undercover to arrest Rita Hayworth. She's the descendant of former a Spanish land grant family and she and her tenants are being cheated systematically by crooked politicians. But he's got a complication he didn't figure on. Former Texas Ranger Tim Holt who is in fact the title character has turned outlaw and has joined Hayworth. He doesn't give O'Brien away, but in fact he convinces O'Brien to start investigating the corrupt land grabbing politicians in the region.
The film is a well constructed and well plotted B film. In the Citadel Series Films of Rita Hayworth, George O'Brien said that Rita was a promising newcomer who was eager to learn and took advice and criticism well. Everyone knew she was headed for bigger and better things.
And she certainly was.
