Randy Rides Alone (1934)
Plays here · source: Internet Archive
Cowboy Randy Bowers rides into a saloon full of corpses and is framed for the killings, then teams with the lone survivor to expose Matt the Mute, the masked bandit really behind the robbery, before the outlaw is undone by his own dynamite trap.
Randy Rides Alone opens on a startlingly grim image for a series built on stock plots — a saloon full of corpses — and that Gothic jolt, along with Gabby Hayes’s rare turn as the masked villain rather than Wayne’s grizzled sidekick, makes it one of the more memorable entries in Monogram’s assembly-line Lone Star run.
