The Rough Rider team of Buck Jones, Tim McCoy, and Raymond Hatton saddled up for the last time for Monogram when they go west to a town being where the miners are being plagued by hijackers.
A gang led by veteran western heavies Harry Woods and Roy Barcroft are our villains. They in turn are being led by another who is the brains. Thr film doesn't keep it a secret but I will.
One thing this film does feature is an attack on the town newspaper. Robbing gold shipments is one thing, but violating the freedom of the press? It was what we were in Europe and the Pacific defending.
This was a good B western to end the original series with.
