The Texas Rangers 3 - Spooks 0
Dave O'Brien, James Newill and James Wilkerson are Texas Rangers transporting a box of cash as repayment to James Barron (Kurt Fabian) for loans to the local ranchers. Bandits try to hold them up but fail. However, soon the money does disappear from a safe to which only Dick Curtis (Sam Benson) supposedly knows the combination. Curtis, who looks like a villain and is usually cast as one, makes a perfect suspect. Perennial villains Charles King and Richard Alexander do their best to enliven the action. Wilkerson and unnecessary 4th wheel Harry Harvey (Dry Wash Thompson) add some tepid and tiresome attempts at humor to lighten things up - and fail. Mady Lawrence (Lucy Warren) is Curtis's feisty love interest - she made 10 films, is credited in 5 and there is no further info from IMDb. A lot of the action takes place at night and the print is too dark to e able to follow the action. James Newill sings a few unnecessary songs and a frustrated O'Brien finds hard-edged determination towards the end to bring all to a close. Not that bad, nothing special.
