Riders of Death Valley

The Saturday matinee crowd got two cowboy stars for the price of one in this lavishly budgeted western serial starring former singing cowboy Dick Foran and Buck Jones. The latter contributed deadpan humor to the proceedings, making Jones perhaps the highest paid B-western comedy relief in history. The two heroes defend the Death Valley borax miners from an outlaw gang headed by Wolf Reade. An extraordinarily strong cast -- for a serial, at least -- supported the stars, headed by Charles Bickford as Reade, Leo Carillo, Lon Chaney, Jr., and silent screen star Monte Blue. Leading lady Jeanne Kelly later changed her name to Jean Brooks and starred in the atmospheric RKO thriller The Seventh Victim (1943). Universal claimed to have spent $1 million on this serial and made sure to get their money's worth by endlessly recycling the action footage in serials and B-westerns for years to come.

It seems to be the case that whenever scriptwriters on B Westerns were at a loss as to what to do next they wrote a script where the hero has to play a villain who is a double of himself.These films always seem to play out along well established lines.This film is no different.However it has to be said that the plot as a whole is not particularly well constructed and the lead player seems to have some difficulty in convincing the other baddies let alone the audience that he is who he says he is when he impersonates the baddie.In fact other than a different wardrobe and hairstyle the differences are hard to see.This is a fairly poor outing in this B Western genre from PRC.
