The Denver Kid

Allan “Rocky” Lane as a border patrolman who sets a trap to lure a killer into the arms of the law. Nugget: Eddy Waller. Tom Richards: William Henry. Flip: Douglas Fowley. Jason Fox: Rory Mallinson. Sheriff: George Lloyd. Andre: George Meeker. Capt. Roberts: Emmett Vogan. Sgt. Cooper: Hank Patterson. Directed by Philip Ford., Allan Lane goes in search of his dead friend’s brother in this fast-paced Western from Republic Pictures. Instead of finding his brother Tim as he had been promised, Fletcher Roberts (Bruce Edwards) is confronted by Jason Fox (Rory Mallinson), a criminal who needs Fletcher’s horses to equip a gang of army deserters. After killing Fletcher, Fox escapes into Cemetery Ridge, an outlaw haven across the border. Claiming to be a fugitive from the law, “Rocky” Lane (Allan Lane), a border patrol officer and Fletcher’s friend, crosses over into the Cemetery Ridge where he hooks up with Nugget Clark (Eddy Waller), the lawless town’s pharmacist and only law-abiding citizen. Managing to infiltrate the murderer’s gang, Rocky locates Fletcher’s brother Tim (William Henry), who idolizes Fox. When learning about his brother’s death, Tim changes his mind, however, and helps Rocky and Nugget track down not only Fox but also the town’s crooked sheriff (George H. Lloyd).
