The Man from Hell's Edges (1932)

An enjoyable Western with some superb stunts.



Williams (Bob Steele) breaks out of prison and heads into the country, the authorities hot on his trail. He makes it to a small town and befriends the sheriff (Robert Homans) and becomes his deputy. He falls for the sheriff's daughter Betty (Nancy Drexel) but she discovers his real identity and both father and daughter are shocked when Williams turns up with a gang to rob them!

However, everything is not what it seems, Williams is really an undercover agent looking for the man who led a big robbery some years ago, a robbery where Williams' father was killed. Williams suspects the cocky Lobo (Julian Rivero)...

A solid if unspectacular story that proceeds at a rapid pace. Some of the horse stunts are pretty spectacular including a jaw dropping jump from a cliff into a lake.
