    The Lone Rier fights himself

    It seems to be the case that whenever scriptwriters on B Westerns were at a loss as to what to do next they wrote a script where the hero has to play a villain who is a double of himself.These films always seem to play out along well established lines.This film is no different.However it has to be said that the plot as a whole is not particularly well constructed and the lead player seems to have some difficulty in convincing the other baddies let alone the audience that he is who he says he is when he impersonates the baddie.In fact other than a different wardrobe and hairstyle the differences are hard to see.This is a fairly poor outing in this B Western genre from PRC.

    The Lone Rider Ambushed review

    Square-shouldered hero George Houston plays a dual role as clean-cut hero Tom Cameron and lookalike sleazy criminal Keno Harris whose identity he assumes in order to locate hidden swag. Forgettable, ultra low-budget offering from bottom of the barrel Poverty Row studio PRC. Al St. John provides mild comic relief.
