Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Buster Crabbe is Billy Carson and Al St. John is Fuzzy Q. Jones in this formula PRC western. Riding into a wide-open town, Billy, Fuzzy and their saddle pal Jeff (Carleton Young) befriend crusading newspaper editor Dan (John Elliott). The villains have run out of methods to intimidate Dan into silence, so they resort to the old reliable ploy of kidnapping the editor's pretty daughter Betty (Joan Barclay). It must then follow that Billy, Fuzzy and Jeff all gallop to Betty's rescue. With Glenn Strange and Charles King in the cast, there's absolutely no mystery concerning the identity of the "bad guys".
