A jigsaw puzzle of Lash films in one.

Lash LaRue, the black-clad King of the Western Bull-whip appears in this film compiled from a series of edited earlier films, with some new footage thrown in as an afterthought ! LaRue, with the aid of comical second banana Fuzzy St. John, cleans up a corrupt group of dastardly scalawags.

By this time in his career, LaRue's films had fallen victim to abysmally low budgets and stale, recycled plots. This film is one of his worst, of interest to fans and movie historians only.

The original, 1940's versions compiled here are superior and viewers should beware of this hodge-podge of earlier shoot-em ups.

Goofs
When Marshal Lash LaRue slugs a saloon thug (played by Archie Twitchell) in a opening barroom scene, the bad guy's hat falls off. But when we see him reeling from the punch against the wall, the hat has reappeared on his head.
