Ghost Town Law

Even though this movie had all the requirements of a typical B Western, the only problem is it actually had a plot that was interesting. The movie had poor editing, poor sound and poor picture quality, all that was expected from this type of western. But the story and the actors were actually very good and the action was topnotch. Buck Jones, who is known for doing all of his stunts, made this action western believable and exciting.

The story involves two US Marshals being killed and in response they sent Marshal Roberts (Buck Jones) and Marshal McCall (Tim McCoy) to find the persons responsible for the murders. Along the way they run into a gang of roughs that are taking advantage of the law and it is up to the Marshals to put a stop to the high jinks. They even throw in a beautiful girl to make the story complete.

A well performed B western movie. Was not expecting much from the film but was pleasantly surprised with the fifth installment of the Rough Riders series.

And as the movie comes to a close and the music begins, it takes me back to the days as a youth watching Saturday Matinees at the local theater and loving every moment of the experience.
