This series of Lash La Rue "Western Adventure Productions", financed by Southern theatre-owners J. Francis White and Joy Houck, was put together by the husband-wife combo of Ron Ormond and June Carr with much use of stock footage from the Lash LaRue series they had made for Screen Guild distribution a few years earlier(hence the frequent references and use of the town name Rhyolite), and is primarily a confused mish-mash of new footage incorporated with footage from other La Rue films, to the extent that they even cannibalized footage from Western Adventure films before they were through.

Review :

A jigsaw puzzle of Lash films in one.

Lash LaRue, the black-clad King of the Western Bull-whip appears in this film compiled from a series of edited earlier films, with some new footage thrown in as an afterthought ! LaRue, with the aid of comical second banana Fuzzy St. John, cleans up a corrupt group of dastardly scalawags.

By this time in his career, LaRue's films had fallen victim to abysmally low budgets and stale, recycled plots. This film is one of his worst, of interest to fans and movie historians only.

The original, 1940's versions compiled here are superior and viewers should beware of this hodge-podge of earlier shoot-em ups.
