Trail of Terror

Muggs (Richard Cramer) tells Bob Steele from his cell, " Listen Spike if you make it we'll meet you at the hideout we told you about, we'll be outta here in a couple of weeks." The warden (Lloyd Ingraham) tells Steele he is all bad news. Steele's not having any of it and makes a stunning escape crashing head first through a window. This is only the beginning of some great action and stunt work throughout this movie. Charles K. French is the sheriff who hires Spike as his foreman unbeknownst to him that he's a wanted man. His daughter (Beth Marion) falls head over heels for Spike but has some grave reservations later. Marion was a captivating leading lady of early westerns but unfortunately for fans retired a few years after this film. Forrest Taylor a veteran of the stage does a good job of playing both sides of the fence and who can forget everybody's favorite villain Charles King as Hashknife. Look for a great scene when Steele has mix it up in the ring for 5 minutes with Barney Cosnack as Wrestler Dugan. Must of been tough for fans to see Steele as a villain at the beginning but will the real Jim Wilson come through in the end?
