The Far Frontier

Cold-blooded Bart Carroll heads a syndicate which smuggles wanted criminals across the Mexican Border into America. Border guard Tom Sharper intercepts a shipment of human cargo, but the gangsters overpower him, beat him brutally and leave him for dead in the desert. Cattleman Roy Rogers finds his old pal Tom near death and suffering from amnesia. While he nurses his old friend back to health. Roy determines to track down Carroll, and bust the gang wide open once and for all.

This "modern Western" mixes action, songs, light-hearted fun and cold-blooded murder, dished up in the inimitable Republic Studios style by director William Witney. The Far Frontier features the single screen pairing of the King of the Cowboys (Rogers) and future TV Lone Ranger Clayton Moore, as well as the appearance of future TV star Annie Oakley, Gail Davis as Roy's love interest.
