The Range Busters (the usual trio of Ray Corrigan, Dusty King, Max Terhune....and his creepy ventriloquist dummy, Elmer) are contacted to become lawmen in a western town. But the man appointed by the committee to contact them paints an ugly picture of the place....hoping they'll stay away. When that doesn't work and the trio head there, the scum-bag arranges for their horses to be stolen! And, once they are there, things don't see all that friendly. On top of that, the 'nice' lady Crash and Dusty are smitten with has a secret...her brother is working for the local bandits. And, when the Range Busters realize it, she pulls a gun on them to prevent them from arresting him! What's next? Well, oddly enough, it's NOT arresting the woman for drawing a gun on them!
Is this a good B-western? Well, it's about average for the genre....and is pretty typical of the Range Busters. Fortunately, Elmer isn't in the movie very much....but the plot isn't exactly brilliant nor inspired. Worth watching if you love the genre...otherwise, just a time-passer at best.
