Movie Reviews of Rough Riders: Below the BorderMovie Review: Another Undercover Investigation Summary: 3 Stars
Below the Border, 1942 film
The film begins with a stagecoach drawn by four horses going through the hills. There is danger in this country. The Sheriff tacks Wanted posters in the stores. Five robbers chase the stagecoach, firing many shots until the guard and driver are shot. Is the stranger a coward? There is drama in the tavern. A cattle buyer from Kansas watches a man mop the floor. The Sheriff sends out men to trail the robbers. Is it healthy to have too good a memory there? Did someone tip off the robbers that valuable jewels were carried by Miss Garcia? We learn the robbers work for Scully, the tavern owner. We learn who is their contact at the Garcia ranch. "The Rough Riders" begin their undercover investigation.
"John Robbins" has a reputation. "Don't tax your brain." "Robbins" can fence those stolen jewels. McCall looks at cattle at the Garcia ranch. Joe Collins is on edge; somebody shoots him. He tells McCall that Slade killed Marshal Gordon. The robbers steal cattle from the Porter ranch. The Sheriff rounds up the boys to chase the rustlers. But Slade knew the real Robbins and knows this one is an imposter! The gang has to work fast. Slade snoops around the Sheriff's office. Buck Roberts chews gum, then meets Slade for a confrontation. There will be no more trouble from Slade. Tim trails the gang to their hideout. They pursue the gang, firing shots. Buck captures Scully and recovers the jewels. Tim and Sandy capture the rest of the gang. There is a happy ending. "The Rough Riders" will separate to their home states and their personal business. Until they ride again.
This is another classic western that is part morality play and a detective story. A ranch owner is threatened by robbers and rustlers. Acquiring property has its costs. The tavern owner is the secret mastermind of the robber gang (a possible legacy of Prohibition?).
