- When the new telegraph line comes to the wild west, Eddie, Soapy, and Stormy help make it happen.
- Eddie and his sidekicks have been called in to help get a new telegraph line through. Dawson and his men along with his stooge Judge are out to stop them. When Eddie and the boys catch three of Dawson's men destroying telegraph equipment, the Judge releases them and this leads to the showdown between the two sides.—Maurice VanAuken <mvanauken@a1access.net>
- This film has the dubious distinction of being both the eighth and the eighteenth in Eddie Dean's P.R.C. series of westerns. It showed up again in late 1948, minus the color and a couple of the songs, but with a new title, "Prairie Outlaws." P.R.C. (Eagle-Lion on the 2nd release) did not bother to inform the exhibitors that they were being sold a changed-title, re-issue with a shortened running time, nor did they tag the film as such. Truth-in-advertising was not a big sticky point in 1948. Both films find the Army refusing the request for protection from Bill Butler (Lee Bennett), in charge of stringing the Western Telegraph Company's transcontinental wire, so Captain Rogers (Lee Roberts as Bob Allen)of the Arizona Rangers assigns Eddie Dean (Eddie Dean), Stormy Day (Lash LaRue as Al LaRue) and Soapy Jones (Roscoe Ates)to guard the project. Drake Dawson (Terry Frost)fears the coming of the telegraph will bring an end to his lawless activities in the town of Preston. His henchmen, Rocky (Bob Duncan), Half-Breed Charlie (John Bridges) and Cactus (Bud Osborne), are wantonly killing buffalo - hello, stock footage - belonging to the Indians in order to bring about an uprising against the telegraph company.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
