"Texas Rangers Ride Again" is a B-western from Paramount and it's surprisingly good...perhaps too good to be an inexpensive B. So why is it so good? Well, it has two huge things going for it...excellent writing and some dandy supporting actors.
The Dangerfield Ranch is huge....too huge in fact to adequately police it for cattle rustlers. On top of that, there is an inside man who knows everyone's comings and goings. So, he and a group of criminals have created a large and incredibly well organized gang. They not only steal cattle but process and destroy the carcasses right there on the Dangerfield Ranch...and use trucks to haul away the fresh meat to a packing house!
Unfortunately, finding these crooks has proven extremely difficult so the Rangers have been sent in. However, shortly after arriving, the governor dispatches them somewhere else...or so they want the crooks to think. What's next? See the film.
May Robson was a wonderful and spunky old lady in films...and here she's at the top of her game. Additionally, Charley Grapewin is also there and both play well against each other. The hero, played by Ron Randall, is possibly the weakest point in the movie, as he seems more at home in detective films instead of the west, though he's really not bad at all here. Overall, a fun western that proves B doesn't stand for bad!
