Rock River Renegades
This is a tangled one. The Range Busters are sent for to deal with an outlaw element, and the newspaper is spreading lies about The Range Busters saying they are really outlaws. So once again it's up to The Range Busters to stop the real villains and it's up to the boys to defeat the bad guys and set things straight. (INTERESTING NOTE - As an adult I have thought Elmer is really odd and silly and perhaps creepy. BUT considering these Range Busters adventures were really made for kids Elmer is a pretty good character when you consider some of children's programing these days. He is really not much different then the Muppets in movies when you think about it, so maybe Elmer is the first Muppet.) ANOTHER INTERESTING NOTE - Many may recognize Christine McIntyre who appeared as a blonde in many of the always classic Three Stooges short comedy films. This classic western film is from 1942.
