Filmed back-to-back with Rip Roarin' Buckaroo, this low-budget Western starred the darkly handsome Tom Tyler as Jerry Lane, a drifter who comes to the aid of a beleaguered female would-be rancher. Arriving from Santa Fe to establish her claim to her late grandfather's property, Jeanne Moore (Beth Marion) finds the place apparently haunted by old ...
Stuffed dummies on horseback manage to fool a gang of munitions smugglers in this farfetched low-budget Western from the Reliable company.

A bestselling author accepts an invitation to the "Mystery Ranch," only to find laid back shenanigans giving way to real danger in this action-packed western starring Tom Tyler.

This minor oater was the penultimate silent western starring the strapping Tom Tyler.

Even for a Sam Katzman production, the 1937 Tom Tyler western Brothers of the West is remarkably tacky. The steely-eyed Tyler appears in his usual guise of Tom Wade, troubleshooter for the Cattlemen's Protective Agency. He spends most of the film trying to extricate his younger brother Ed (Bob Terry) from the influence of cattle rustler Tracy ...
A wagon train sequence and a stampede of buffaloes -- both courtesy of stock footage -- remain the most interesting features of this otherwise stagy early talkie Western from low-budget entrepreneur John Freuler's Monarch Productions.
