Also known as California Outpost Old Los Angeles stars Bill Elliot in one of his expandedbudget Republic specials The film is set during the early statehood days of California with Elliot keeping the peace and warding off plunderers and marauders As always Elliot is a peaceable manuntil he beats the tar out of those who rile him The problem with Elliots more expensive Republic vehicles is that action invariably took a back seat to plot romance costumes and decor Within a year of Old Los Angeles Elliot started a more austere less prettified and far superior western series
