Clayton Moore in another fast action Repiblic western serial...
CLAYTON MOORE is in this one ...we remember him as TV's LONE RANGER..and his two feature color movies as the masked man..here in this rousing Republic western SERIAL..he is seen again giving his all. Not too much important dialouge, but enough action also to keep things moving pretty fast.. Not the best Serial made, but good enough ..!
