Poster for the movie West of the Law

West of the Law (Monogram, 1942)

Lobby card for the movie West of the LawThere’s more undercover work for Rough Riders Buck, Tim, and Sandy (Buck Jones, Tim McCoy, and Raymond Hatton) in the last entry in the series, with Buck pretending to be an outlaw, Tim a preacher, and Sandy an undertaker. This time around, the marshals are out to stop a gang that is hijacking miners’ gold. To that end, they help out the local newspaperman (Milburn Morante, aka Milt Moranti) and his daughter (Evelyn Cook) after the gang wrecks their printing press so that they can put out an edition naming two of the crooks and put the pressure on the bad guys to name their boss. Plenty of action and some good-natured humor round things out as usual.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 308 for 2021.
