    I’m not certain it was intentional here, but Allene Ray (“Marge”) did make me smile here as she donned a pair of glasses and voila, as per Batman and Robin, it was a disguise that would fool even Sherlock Holmes himself! Why did she need a disguise? Well that’s because she’s got herself embroiled in the antics of “Lansing/Buffalo Bill Jr.” (Jay Wilsey) as he works with “Ben” (Ben Corbett) to bring some dastardly cattle rustlers to book. From here on in, it follows the usual trammels of infiltrate the baddies, tread on a dangerous tightrope and then hope to get out alive as they will be doubtless be hopelessly outmanned and outgunned. There is something lightly engaging to Wilsey’s performance, but the others merit little worth mentioning and the whole film belongs at the bottom end of the scale of these precursors to episodes of “Bonanza”, only a little more earnest. It’s watchable enough, but I know I shall never recall it.

Ramrod

A cattle-vs.-sheepman feud loses Connie Dickason her fiance, but gains her his ranch, which she determines to run alone in opposition to Frank Ivey, "boss" of the valley, whom her father Ben wanted her to marry. She hires recovering alcoholic Dave Nash as foreman and a crew of Ivey's enemies. Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates. Connie's boast that, as a woman, she doesn't need guns proves justified, but plenty of gunplay results.

Jake Remy leads a gang of outlaw cutthroats making their escape toward Mexico from a successful robbery. Barring their way is a river--crossable only by means of a ferry barge. The barge operator, Travis, refuses to be bullied into providing transport for the gang and escapes across river with most of the local populace--leaving Remy and his gang behind, desperately seeking a way across. A river-wide stand-off begins between the gang and the townspeople, both groups of which have left people on the wrong side of the river.
