Western Racketeers

How fortunate that a man named William Cody got to be a B picture cowboy hero. But I'm not sure if he ever actually played Buffalo Bill to whom he was no relation.

Cody stars in this film for a real poverty row outfit called Aywon Pictures and I will say this for Western Racketeers, it has some of the most brazen outlaws ever put on film. These guys have set up shop at a place called Alamo Pass where the ranchers have to drive their cattle to market. It's government land, but these guys just decide to charge extortionate tolls to pass through land they have no claim on in any event.

It seems to me all that is required here is for the sheriff to just round up a posse and fight it out which is what it comes to in the end anyway. There is some mystery as to who the boss is, but any viewer of B westerns should figure that out.

These outlaws have chutzpah so it takes a hero with same to put them out of business. No reason to go out of your way to see Western Racketeers.
