Poster for the movie The Fighting Vigilantes

The Fighting Vigilantes (PRC, 1947)

Price-gouging is central to this outing for Lash LaRue (as Marshal Cheyenne Davis) and Al St. John (as Fuzzy Q. Jones). The villainous Taylor (George Chesebro) and his gang rob supply wagons so Taylor can sell the food at a tremendous markup; they are countered by Robin Hood-like vigilantes, who give food to the settlers in need, but the conflict is continuing. Into this mess ride our heroes, and Abby Jackson (Jennifer Holt), daughter of the vigilante leader (Steve Clark) attracts Cheyenne’s eye. Can Cheyenne and Fuzzy put a stop to the crimes? Slight but fun enough.

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

Movie 449 for 2021.
