I've finally seen it!

I can now say I've seen every single Republic serial!

There really wasn't much plot to this serial - I can't even remember what it was that the bad guys were trying to do or why they were bad. Thats OK, because its a serial with nonstop action that never lets up.

Everyone in this serial seemed to have a lot of barrels lying around with "Explosives" or "Powder" written on the side. You know what that means! :-) There are some renegade Indians that are told one of the most outrageous lines I've heard in a serial: "Remember, white people must die". The fights seemed extra long in this serial as compared to other Republics. It contains that sequence where the wagon with the explosives goes off as it rolls down a path along a cliff side. Its contains the locked in the jail cell while the jail is on fire sequence. It also has two times where the pin comes out of that swivel thing on the front of a wagon so it ends up rolling off the edge of a cliff. I mean where you see it approach the edge and go over from the point of view of someone in the wagon. There's a cave with a fire pit and more too!

I can only hope that it will one day be available for home viewing.
