Badman's Gold

A gang is raiding gold shipments bound for the U.S. Mint and undercover agent John Carpenter is assigned the task of rounding them up. He recruits a brother and sister team of investigators, Bob and Bess Benson, who insists on bringing along their dog, Daisy. John protests but later, when he us held captive by the cuthroat killers, the canine may hold his one chance for survival.

This Eagle-Lion Classics, Inc. release stars Johnny Carpenter and was co-written by the female lead, Alyn Lockwood. In sharp contrast to Badman's Gold, which devotes large amounts of screen time to an adorable puppy, Carpenter would go on to write, produce and star in of the most brutal westerns ever shot, Son of the Renegade (1953).
