Oil in West Texas

This Red Ryder film has Wild Bill Elliott trying to save cousin Peggy Stewart's ranch as some unscrupulous people are trying to get a hold of it because there's oil on the property. Something that young geologist Jay Kirby late of the Hopalong Cassidy series is trying to prove. But the fact that Kirby served a term in prison does compromise his believability.

In fact the town takes a lot of convincing as Stewart rides to town in what they called back in the day a horseless carriage and frightens the horses and livestock. Most upset of all is sheriff Tom London who appeared in a gazillion of these B westerns. This will never take the place of the horse, especially in the not so wild west at this point.

Wild enough in Conquest Of Cheyenne for their to be a few murders that the villains try to pin on Kirby. Not being fooled a bit is Red Ryder as usual.

Fans of the Red Ryder series should be pleased.
