Tim Mccoy, who, for some odd reason is listed as ¡°Colonel Tim Mccoy¡¯ in the credits, as if that would make him sound more courageous sounding, (It actually sounds more ridiculous) ¡°returns¡± (where did he go?) in Lighting Carson Strikes Again.

Okay typical western from the 1930s - good guy infiltrates the group of bad guys and takes care of business. However, atypical in that there is no love interest - even with lovely Joan Barclay present - and no stupid sidekick and, thankfully, not as much riding back and forth as usual. The film is filled with the ususal faces playing both good and bad guys - Ted Adams, Slim Whitaker,, Forrest Taylor, Ben Corbett, Karl Hackett, Frank LaRue and more.
