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.
