Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Savage Frontier stars Allan "Rocky" Lane in his familiar movie guise as a U.S. marshal. A criminal gang, run by a mysterious "Mister Big," has been knocking off lawmen left and right. Once the audience is introduced to Roy Barcroft as leading citizen William Oakes, the mystery surrounding the identity of the criminal mastermind is over. No matter: the film's action content is worth the admission price, and besides, the story is really about the regeneration of former convict Sam Webb (Bob Steele). At 53 minutes, Savage Frontier makes its points with speed and efficiency.
