Catching a holdup gang
In reviewing a film like Arizona Stagecoach one has to remember that this was
aimed at a kid audience so subtle it's not.
After some hijinks where Dusty King lost a bet and has to sing upside down hanging from a rope, the Range Busters get a request from a visiting sheriff to investigate a series of holdups on the Wells Fargo stage line. This gang is getting their information from the inside.
I can't say any more but that from the second the villain makes his appearance before a word of dialog is uttered we know it's him. This particular actor made several westerns and he's always a bad guy.
The matinee knew who it was as they knew the Range Busters would figure it out before it ended.
Still it's enjoyable on its own level.
