Tim McCoy and Buck Jones in Ghost Town Law (1942)

Review by planktonrules

Ghost Town Law

6/10

One of the last Rough Riders pics.

In the 1930s, Buck Jones and Tim McCoy both starred in a variety of low-budget westerns. However, in the late 1930s Monogram Studios had an idea--put both these stars (plus Raymond Hatton) in a series of films to increase their drawing power. Their Rough Rider films are generally quite good for the genre, though they are also rather cheap B-movies nevertheless. The series ended, however, when Jones was tragically killed in a nightclub fire in 1942...making this one of the last entries in the series.

The film begins with two lawmen being murdered while they're on the trail of a crook. Why the two men were killed in this ghost town and why there's a tunnel under the place...these are things the viewer will have to learn through the course of the film.

The two Marshalls happened to be friends with Marshall Tim McCall (McCoy) and he's determined to investigate. Since this IS a Rough Riders film, you know that sooner or later Buck Jones and Raymond Hatton will arrive soon...and they play Marshalls Buck Roberts and Sandy Hopkins. And, as usual, they arrive separately and the pair are in disguise.

The film is pretty much what you'd expect and will see in other Rough Riders films...nothing brilliant but an enjoyable and competent B-movie.
