TRAILING DOUBLE TROUBLE

Cinemavixion Review

S. Roy Luby's "Trailing Double Trouble" offers a classic Western narrative steeped in the traditions of the genre. Released in 1940, the film stars Ray Corrigan, John 'Dusty' King, and Max Terhune as the Range Busters, a trio entangled in a scheme involving a valuable gravel contract and a disputed inheritance. The plot, revolving around a sinister plot by Moreland to gain control of the Horner ranch through guardianship of an orphaned child, provides ample opportunity for action and intrigue. The presence of Alibi and his dummy Elmer adds a touch of characteristic humor, a hallmark of the era's Westerns. While not a sweeping epic, "Trailing Double Trouble" delivers a concise and engaging story, showcasing the familiar tropes of good versus evil, betrayal, and ultimate justice that continue to resonate with fans of the Western genre.
