Marshal of Laredo

Red Ryder (Wild Bill Elliott) chases and catches a bank robber, but the robber's boss, Denver Jack (Roy Barcroft) has him released by a crooked lawyer, Larry Randall (Robert Grady). Later, Randall decides he wants to reform and tells Denver he is quitting. Denver has him framed on a murder charge and Randall is to be hanged...unless Red Ryder and Little Beaver (Bobby Blake) can uncover evidence to prove his innocence.

Not bad Red Ryder with some fine touches such as having a nasty villain Roy Barcroft, who has a penchant of keeping photographic evidence of his thugs to keep them in line, an Igor-like henchman who is scared of fire, and the mother of the lawyer sentenced to hang arriving but unaware of her son's impending fate. Red Ryder and co. Don't tell her the truth. Meanwhile Red Ryder and Little Beaver work to prove the lawyer innocence and there's fistfights, chases and a close shave from a hangman's noose for the lawyer in the process.
