The Red Raiders is an exciting Ken Maynard cavalry actioner with good stunt work and impressive tricks performed by Tarzan. Maynard is a cavalry lieutenant out to stop a troublemaking young Indian leader, Lone Wolf (Chief Yowlachie), who is fomenting war, while also competing against his commanding officer (J. P. McGowan) for the affections of a rancher’s sister (Anne Drew). When Lone Wolf’s clever ruse with a homing pigeon leaves the fort nearly defenseless, it’s up to Maynard and Tarzan to call back the troops to rescue the settlers sheltering there and break up the well-planned assault.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.
