This is like a Republic version of the Justice League of America. I think this was made before Rex Allen joined Republic, otherwise I expect he would have been in it too. Love the sedan.
My favorite Republic Pictures flick simply because of the presence of all of those great Western stars in one place.
I think there's a line where one of them is furiously firing at the bad guys and another says: "You're gonna do a lot of damage with those blanks" -- and he keeps right on shooting. Metafictional self-satire -- and in the forties, yet.

I think I have a tape of this. If so, I'll watch it Real Soon Now.
