RAWHIDE MAIL (1934, Reliable) Jack Perrin, Dick Kramer, Nels McDowell, Lillian Gilmore. Though full of cliché B western plot devices, this Perrin quickie is really kind of fun. Jack and his outlaw pals become heroes when they save a lady from a stage holdup. Later, they aid her when she is swindled out of her property. Kramer is one of the slimiest of B western villiams. 16mm.
