I just watched Arizona Legion (1939) on TCM. It's an OK B-western made by RKO. A gang of masked riders is running roughshod over Arizona and it's up to Arizona Ranger Boone Yeager to put a stop to it. Boone goes undercover as a hell-raising cowboy. He infiltrates the gang by serving on a jury that acquits one of its obviously guilty members. He finds out that the leader of the gang is an unknown character known only as The Chief. Boone loses his girl Letty as she wants no part of an outlaw for a husband. Boone must learn the identity of the Chief and bring the cavalry and the rest of the Rangers in to round up the gang. But can he do it? And win back Letty?
George O'Brien is at his best here as Boone Yeager. Watch for the exciting climax when he appears to perform a dangerous stunt himself by jumping from his horse onto a moving stagecoach. It's very well done and worth waiting for. A very young Laraine Day is his desirable fiancé Letty. Chill Wills is on hand as Whopper. And that's Glenn Strange as George Kirby.
Watching Arizona Legion (1939) is a pleasant way to spend an early Saturday morning.
