The film stars Dave O'Brien, Tex Ritter and Guy Wilkerson, with Patti McCarty, Harry Harvey and Betty Miles. The film was released on 22 September 1944, by Producers Releasing Corporation.

The fifteenth of the 'Texas Rangers' film series, the film is regarded as a metaphor for World War II as a fascist-type gang enslaves a town.Loy, R. Philip 'Soldiers in Stetsons: B-Westerns Go to War' pp.197-205 'Journal of Popular Film and Television' Volume 30, Issue 4, 2003
