Red River Robin Hood

Red River Robin Hood finds Tim Holt and sidekick Cliff Edwards doing the Robin Hood thing when they find their friend Russell Wade with whom they plan to go into partnership with on a ranch in jail. Seems as though Eddie Dew has forged himself an old Spanish land grant to which he is the heir. He wants to extort money from all the ranches in the area or evict them.

So Holt and Edwards don capes and masks and become Mr. Justice robbing Dew's rent collectors. They also go to work for Dew.

Red River Robin Hood got enough action to satisfy any B western fan. But I have to say I did have a problem with how dumb Dew and his crowd could be and how easy Holt and Edwards fooled them. The only ones who are in on the game are Wade, editor Otto Hoffman and his daughter Barbara Moffett.

Some good comic relief besides Edwards is found with Sheriff Tom London who's a rather dim bulb and his thicker than a brick deputy Earl Hodgins.

Tim Holt's fans will be pleased.
