Wikipedia article




'Carson City Raiders' is a 1948 American Western film directed by Yakima Canutt and written by Earle Snell. The film stars Allan Lane, Eddy Waller, Frank Reicher, Beverly Jons, Harold Landon and Steve Darrell.

Plot



One of the Allan "Rocky" lane series of B-westerns, this has a cast of characters that go beyond the simple hero-villain plots. Steve Darrell, a busy character actor listed seventh in the cast (even below Rocky's horse), is actually the movie's central character: a man tapped to replace a murdered sheriff. When the bad guys realize he's a reformed outlaw, they think they can blackmail them into helping them. Rocky figures it out first, and they join forces. Harold Goodwin stands in for usual action heavy Roy Barcroft in this one, and has such lines as (when he's supposed to rub out a captured outlaw who might talk) "Too bad, I was just gettin' to know the guy."
