RUSTLERS HIDEOUT 1945 (ALPHA)

Average PRC western directed by Sam Newfield.

Buster Crabbe stars as Bill Carson, who along with his sidekick Fuzzy Jones (Al St. John) are bringing cattle from Wyomming to Montana.

Carson stops just at a pass where he knows rustling has gone on before. The man waiting for the cattle is Dave Crockett (Hal Price) the rustlers have attempted to destroy him and have his son ruined as well.

These efforts fail thanks to Carson and so as a last resort the rustlers poison the water supply!! It seems that these men will do anything to keep the cattle out of Montana including killing them.

This is a standard western for the times and it's well done for what it is, but you have seen the plot many times before in hundreds of other westerns.

It's not a bad film, there is just nothing new. However it does pass one by very quickly.
