Jinetes de los llanos

George Montgomery stars as Jim Lassiter, who learns early on that his niece Fay (Patty Patterson) has been cheated out of her inheritance by crooked Judge Dyer (Robert Barrat). What Lassiter doesn't know-at least at first-is that Dyer is the head of a vigilante group, ostensibly organized to protect the local settlers but actually intent upon driving everyone out of the territory. Several acts of skullduggery and one kidnapping later, Lassiter is finally able to thwart the villains and settle down in a hidden valley with his sweetheart Jane Witherspoon (Mary Howard).

This fourth version of Zane Grey's evergreen yarn is a solid one which breezes along with enough drama, unusual touches and action that fills its short running time. George Montgomery makes a fine Lassiter and Mary Howard is good as the pacifist Jane. There's some great rugged scenery as a backdrop to intrigue and villainy.
