Ambush Trail (1946)

One of four western films made for PRC by bantamweight Bob Steele Ambush Trail stars Steele as cowpoke Curley Thompson The villain of the piece intends to bankrupt all the local ranchers and grab up the surrounding property for himself But with Curley involved the bad guy and his minions dont have a chance The screenplay by D W Griffith alumnus Elmer Clifton is a medley of western cliches pausing every so often for a firstrate action sequence Perennial sagebrush sidekick Sid Saylor provides negligible comedy relief
