Cheyenne Rides Again (DVD)

Cattlemen's Protective Association detective Tom Wade poses as a lone-wolf bandit in order to infiltrate a gang of rustlers headed by the nefarious Jake Rollins. The price of admission to this band of cattle rustlers: ten percent of the loot Tom recently snagged in a daring stage robbery. He readily agrees, but the necessity of rescuing fellow undercover operative Sally Lane throws a monkey wrench in his plan for rounding up the crooks.

Starring in the third of his eight low-budget Westerns for Sam Katzman's Victory Pictures, Tom Tyler exhibits the virile physicality and steely-eyed determination that made him a top box-office draw in horse operas produced in the late 1920s. Directed by Western and serial specialist Bob Hill, Cheyenne Rides Again boasts a simple plot that allots former body-builder Tyler numerous opportunities to display his considerable strength and agility. - Ed Hulse
