Frontier Outlaws

Buster Crabbe is looking for cattle rustlers. It turns out that it's that old plot of the local banker using cattle rustling to line his pockets and to drive the ranches he holds mortgages on out of business. Al St. John in a beard is the comic relief. He is carrying on an unwilling affair with Marin Sais. It's a barebones plot done on your typical PRC budget, so there's little to note, except that it starts with some action, continues with action, and ends that way too. Director Sam Newfield knew what his audience wanted at their Saturday matinees.

Jimmy Aubrey is also present, playing a bar fly, but Miss Sais has a substantial role. She had worked for Kalem more than 30 years earlier, playing in their action firl movies, and comedies like Walk -- You Walk!. She had the leading lady roles in some Hoot Gibson westerns, and some with Jack Hoxie, her husband for the first half of the 1920s. She had left the movies in 1929, but returned four years later, often in unbilled roles or cheaper productions. Her last screen appearance as in 1953. She died in 1971, aged 81.
