FORLORN RIVER (1937, Paramount) Buster Crabbe, June Martel, Harvey Stephens, John Patterson, Syd Saylor, Chester Conklin. Buster and his pal catch a bank robber and take his stolen money from him. The bank robber swears revenge. Later, after stealing a hundred horses, he has Buster framed for the theft! Nicely done Paramount pic. 16mm.
THE MYSTERIOUS RIDER (1942, PRC) Buster Crabbe, Fuzzy St. John, Caroline Burke. The setting is a creepy ghost town where few people remain. A couple is cheated out of a gold mine by the man who killed their pappy. Buster finds his life in danger when they try to intervene. The “ghost” scene involving Fuzzy on the violin is a good bit of fun. Not bad for a PRC. 16mm.
THE KID RIDES AGAIN (1943, PRC) Buster Crabbe, Al St. John, Iris Meredith, Charlie King, Glenn Strange. Buster drifts into town at the request of Fuzzy. When he arrives he hears of a local outlaw who is after a mortgage held by the local bank. The outlaw's men rob the bank to incite a run on the bank! Decent entry in the Billy Carson series. From 16mm.
RUSTLER’S HIDEOUT (1944, PRC) Buster Crabbe, Al St. John, John Merton, Patti McCarthy, Charlie King. Those darn cattle thieves are at it again! This time they’ve picked the wrong herd--Buster’s! Another exciting entry in the Billy Carson series with two of the best B western heavies, King and Merton doing their thing together. From 35mm.
