    Starved off the claims

    This film from the PRC studio's Texas Ranger series finds Jim Newill, Dave O'Brien, and Guy Wilkerson the Cal Shrum Band as Texas Rangers on yet another undercover mission.

    The town of Thunder Gap is a mining community and there has been a systematic string of robberies of food supplies for the miners. If it continues on into the winter the miners will be forced off their claims.

    My problem with this western is aside from the usual shoddiness of PRC films in general that if you can't figure out who's behind all this you have to be about maybe 2 years old. Obvious the second the character is introduced.

    Some forgettable cowboy ballads and a goodnatured rivalry between Newill and O'Brien over the storekeeper's niece is about the remainder of this Texas Ranger western from PRC.
