Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Rustlers of Devil's Canyon was one of seven "Red Ryder" westerns with Allan Lane in the lead. Returning from the Spanish-American war, Red Ryder (Lane) discovers that his home turf has been overtaken by rustlers. To make matters worse, a range war erupts between homesteaders and ranchers. It turns out that the head of the rustlers, outwardly a pillar of the community, is responsible for fomenting the hostilities. Red Ryder sets things right within the allotted 6 reels, aided by his youthful pal Little Beaver (Bobby Blake), who says "You betchum!" at the drop of a feather.
