Tex Rides with the Boy Scouts (1937)

A reasonable if unexceptional western. A gang has stolen a million dollars worth of gold. Tex (Tex Ritter) and his two partners (Horace Murphy and Snub Pollard) are looking for the gang when they discover a suspicious looking gold mining operation in a small town. The mine is owned by Dorman (Forrest Taylor) and his goons are seen selling gold nuggets in town.

Tex tricks Dorman into making a move and, with the help of some boy scouts (who actually would not be around until the twentieth century but anyway bear with the film), the gang is rounded up and they all head home happily for tea. 

A standard 1930s western with plenty of horse riding, sixgun shooting, fighting and some fine songs sung by Tex too. Norma (Marjorie Reynolds) is the love interest for Tex.
