Racketeers of the Range
A large packing company is trying to obtain a monopoly by taking over the last small independent meat packer. Barney O'Dell, owner of the largest ranch, is trying to stop them. When the owner agrees to sell, Barney get a delay by forcing the small company to declare bankruptcy and having himself made receiver. Now the large company has to deal with Larry and when he refuses they resort to rustling.
Racketeers of the range is a light and entertaining b-western that stars the ever smiling George O' Brien who clashes with Marjorie Reynolds, a sharp-tongued spitfire, and has a conflict with Bruce Cabot, who plays a slippery villain. It's not strictly a western as it has cars - it's set in the 30's. There's some decent action that propels things along, and it ends with a satisfying climax on a calaboose. It's well-staged. There's a poignant look of a western trail street with horses and a car, modernity taking over the west. Change of times. Chills Wills provides the humour - there's an amusing scene where he tells a girl about his brave exploits but the flashbacks says the opposite. Quite an imaginatively funny sequence.
