Product Description
Utilizing a plot used previously by Buck Jones (twice), Ken Maynard and a year earlier at Reliable by Tom Tyler, and later at Columbia with Charles Starrett, this cattlemen vs. nesters version finds Marshal Bob Banning (Bob Custer) trying to explain to Lem Morgan (John Elliott), the father of Bob's sweetheart Ann (Victoria Vinton), that the incoming homesteaders have a right to occupy government land, but the old man denounces him and swears he will kill any nesters who invade his grazing lands. In a drunken fight, Morgan's son Clay (Eddie Phillips) kills Joel Potter (Wally Wales) and Bob is forced to arrest him. In a battle with Morgan and his hands, Bob is wounded and Ann, going to his aid, is captured by the Potters and held hostage for her brother. Bob tries to persuade Clay to give himself up for his sister's sake, but Bob is held prisoner while the Morgan men ride to rescue Ann. Bob overcomes Clay and takes him to the confrontation scene, where Clay is accidently shot by his own father. Written by Les Adams {longhorn3708@windstream.net}

Customer Reviews for Ambush Valley (1936) [Remastered Edition]

Exciting But Short
At less than an hour long this movie comes across more like an episode of television than as a full feature film. That's a minor quibble, however, and overall the movie delivers what you are looking for if you like old westerns.

You have a marshall avenging the death of his son, rustlers and criminals. White hats, black hats and saloons and shootouts.

There are no major stars, but you can just sit back and let the action kill an hour well spent.

The restoration quality here is better than on a lot of old westerns I've seen.Ambush Valley (1936) [Remastered Edition]
