Saddle Mountain Roundup

This particular film in the Monogram Range Buster series finds Dusty King, Ray Corrigan, and Max Terhune with the ever loquacious Elmer doing more detective work than hard riding and shooting.

Saddle Mountain Roundup finds the Range Busters working for miserly old John Elliott who lives alone in his ranch house with his Chinese cook Willie Fung. Someone is trying to murder Elliott and someone succeeds before the Range Busters arrive.

As it is only two of them Dusty King and Crash Corrigan do the detecting. Max Terhune is delivering a ranch payroll and he and Elmer the dummy get kidnapped. By the way Elmer actually has more of role than he did either with Range Busters or the 3 Mesquiteers. In a roundabout way he foils the plans of villain.

Only at the end is there really a lot of riding and shooting associated with these films. Still Saddle Mountain Roundup is decent enough western entertainment.
