    Where to Watch

Bat Masterson (Monte Hale) investigates the death of his father and uncovers a nefarious plot. Sheriff Hank Hartley: Paul Hurst. Regan: Roy Barcroft. Julie Phillips: Shirley Davis. James Taylor: Rory Mallinson. Tom Owens: Harry Lauter. Keller: Lane Bradford. Sam Phillips: George Carleton. Directed by Philip Ford.

A talky western which features Hale investigating the death of his father and uncovering a plot to take over the town. It turns out that the man he is looking for is also behind the takeover plot. Pretty uneventful, with Hale delivering the tune "Owensville Jail," a western mourner. One of Republic's typical lower-class westerns, with a seven-day shooting schedule and a $30,000 to $50,000 budget.
