Saddle Legion

Tim Holt and Richard Martin roaming the range again come upon a rustling racket with a twist. A phony doctor says the steers are infected with 'blackleg'. Find one the whole herd has to be destroyed. The tearful owner says get it done and the rustlers take them and no one the wiser to this con.

Our guys help stop a stampede and then take the place of a drunken cowboy who shoots owner Cliff Clark when he tries to fire him. Of course the polluted one is part of the rustlers.

Tim and Chito are aided and abetted by lady doctor Dorothy Malone in one of early roles. Malone did about 10 years worth of mostly colorless parts until she started getting some real challenging parts like Written On The Wind which got her her Oscar. Nice to see her in her salad days.

Fans of the Tim Holt series will be pleased.
