    • Trivia
      The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

    Suprisingly good for PRC!
    This is the 11th 'Texas Ranger' film from the PRC series. Like Republic with its 'Mequiteer' films and Monogram with its 'Range Buster' and 'Rough Rider' films, tiny PRC also did series westerns with the Texas Rangers, which consisted of Dave O'Brien, James Newell and Guy Wilkerson.

    In this installment, new surveys are suddenly showing that a lot of folks will be losing land. Now a small mistake is one thing, but the old and new surveys weren't at all the same....and the Rangers investigate. They do so by aiding an addle-brained old man and his daughter.

    This film is very simple and straight-forward....providing a nice script, decent acting and some nice singing. My wife, who hates these old B-westerns even commented about how nice the singing was! I was rather blown away by the film, as PRC productions usually are crap....but this one was worth my time. So much so that I think I'll try some other entries in this series.
