Tornado in the Saddle review

Russell Hayden is the kind of worrying lawman who believes that slipping his sheriff's badge into his pocket means it's ok to beat the crap out of anybody who gives him a hard time, so naturally he gets into more scraps than a schoolkid hoarding a bag of sweets. A typical low-budget western with non-stop action (and dips in a water trough) substituting for any kind of plot. A young Dub Taylor provides the annoying comic relief.

Trivia
One of over 100 Columbia features, mostly Westerns, sold to Hygo Television Films in the 1950s, which marketed them under the name of Gail Pictures; opening credits were redesigned, with some titles misspelled, the credit order of the players rearranged, some names misspelled, and new end titles attached, thus eliminating any evidence of their Columbia roots. Apparently, the original material was not retained in most of the cases, and the films have survived, even in the Sony library, only with these haphazardly created replacement opening and end credits.
