    Sometimes I wonder if the script meetings for these films just took last week’s and re-arranged the page numbers. This hasn’t anything remotely original about it as it allows “Billy” (Buster Crabbe) to yet again find himself blamed for a crime - this time a bank robbery - so he and trusty steed “Falcon”, diverted by some typically clowning antics from “Fuzzy” (Al St. John), have to get to the bottom of things. This does raise quite an interesting legal principle. You have cash in the bank, it gets robbed, you also owe the bank money and they want their debt settled. You can’t pay because they lost your money, but they need you to pay so they can give it back to you. Quite a conundrum, eh? Anyway, in order to get himself sorted, “Carson” has to infiltrate a deadly gang and then follow the golden thread via what might be an haunted mine and is definitely a feisty “Marian” (Janet Warren) before all hell breaks lose. The production is a shambles, the only things missing from shot are mobile phones and the continuity person was clearly enjoying one or two of the bar scenes a little too enthusiastically. It’s all formula stuff, but Crabbe makes for decent eye-candy and it’s really all about the horse, anyway.

The Badlanders

Two men are released from the Arizona Territorial Prison at Yuma in 1898. One, The Dutchman, is out to get both gold and revenge from certain people in a small mining town who had him imprisoned unjustly. The other, McBain, is just trying to go straight, but that is easier said than done once The Dutchman involves him in his gold theft scheme. Based on the 1949 novel The Asphalt Jungle by W. R. Burnett, the story is given an 1898 setting. It is the second film adaptation of the novel following 1950's noir classic The Asphalt Jungle.
