Range Riders (1934)

A run-of-the-mill Western. 



An old rancher (Horace B Carpenter) is being terrorised by a gang of rogues led by Bull Crawford (Lew Meehan). He calls on his son Dick (Buddy Roosevelt) to tackle them. Dick is outnumbered of course so has to use some trickery as well, including some disguises including being a fop, as the usual solid horsemanship and gunplay.

There isn't a lot to this film, having quite a limited running time and not the most original of plots plus some rather indifferent acting. This is a film with a very small budget and unfortunately it does show. Mysteriously Crawford is played by a different (unnamed) actor for the first half of the film. Barbara Starr plays the love interest.
