Ghost Guns finds US Marshals Johnny Mack Brown and Raymond Hatton on yet another mission. This times it's the Piney Woods Basin where a lot of landgrabbing and cattle rustling is going on. But no ghosts in the tradition of the Hollywood B western giving a film a title that has nothing to do with the story.
What is interesting is that there's a phony judge in the mix. Outlaw leader John Merton has Frank LaRue installed as a phony circuit court judge to bend the law his way. Fortunately our heroes are up to those tricks.
The leading lady here is Evelyn Finley who lives with her aunt Sarah Padden on a ranch being threatened. Ms. Finley was a stunt woman and trick rider and we get a bit of her talent displayed as a coda at the end of the film.
Brown and Hatton did a series of films as gallant US Marshals fighting corruption and crime in the west. This one holds up well enough for western fans of today.
