Return of the Lash

Adequate western starring blackskin bullwhip wielding Lash La Rue as Cheyenne Davis, a western Robin Hood, and Al St. John as his comic sidekick. "Plot is a variation on the old 'water rights and railroad right-of-way' ingredients. George Chesebro is the heavy who seeks to rook the settlers. But La Rue and St. John hit upon raising some necessary cash for the ranchers by rounding up some six of the outlaws, all of whom have a stiff price on their heads. En route home with the coin, St. John falls from his hoss and can't recall his identity nor what happened to the money. However, he regains his memory in a free-for-all fisticuff climax with Chesebro's men, which results in a complete victory for the ranchers and recovery of the reward cash."
