THE ROARING WEST (1935)--colorized version

THE ROARING WEST is a 1935 American Western film serial starring Buck Jones as Montana Larkin. It co-stars his horse, Silver, and Frank McGlynn Sr. as his trusty sidekick Jinglebob Morgan. The film was released by Universal.

PLOT:
Buck Jones portrays Montana Larkin, whose sidekick Jinglebob Morgan (Frank McGlynn Jr.) has a map showing the location of the mine. Bad guy Gil Gillespie (Walter Miller) and his gang which includes the likes of Charlie King, Tom London and Slim Whitaker also have designs on the free for the taking property. Gillespie manages to steal the map and lays claim to the property. But....the map was wrong. Jinglebob's brother Clem (Harlan Knight) arrives on the scene with a map showing the correct location of the mine. The action goes back and forth as Gillespie tries to learn the location of the prized plot by kidnapping Clem a couple of times with Montana foiling him at every turn. Montana gets involved with a myriad of cliffhangers including: going over a cliff during the land rush sequence, getting caught in a burst dam flood while captive in a jail, getting dragged by a horse, getting caught in the middle of a stampede, going over a waterfall, being trapped in a burning building, getting caught in a log jam and the list goes on. Needless to say our hero manages to escape each peril and even saves the heroine and romantic interest (Muriel Evans) from fates worse than death.
