The Adventures of Frank and Jesse James [Serial] Synopsis & Summary

Synopsis

Yet another Hollywood whitewash of a gang of legendary lawbreakers, this oater starred future Lone Ranger Clayton Moore and Steven Darrell in a 13 chapter depiction of how the brothers left lives of crime to become law-abiding prospectors. Opposing this sudden change of heart is a gang of villains headed by the mustachioed George J. Lewis. Noel Neill, of Superman fame, provided feminine charms to the proceedings, which were co-directed by genre specialist Fred C. Brannon and legendary stunt expert Yakima Canutt. - Hans J.
