Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Allan "Rocky" Lane is cleverly cast as Allan "Rocky" Lane in the Republic western Desert of Lost Men. The story finds Lane going undercover to trap the leader of an outlaw gang. His scheme is complicated by the fact that heroine Nan Webster (Mary Ellen Kay) is the daughter of a doctor who is deeply involved in the gang's activities. Veteran character actor Irving Bacon is second-billed as the film's comedy relief, an ineffectual sheriff named Skeeter Davis (no relation, of course, to the country-western star of the same name). Though nothing new, Desert of Lost Men is expertly assembled.
