Contents

This is the fifth movie in the "Lone Rider" series, which spans seventeen films—eleven starring George Houston, and a further six starring Robert Livingston. [3] In this film, Houston plays a dual role as both the Lone Rider and the villain, Keno Harris.

Houston, once an opera singer, sang three songs in this film: "Without You Darling, Life Wouldn't Be the Same", "Ridin' Roamin' on the Prairie" and "If It Hadn't Been for You". The songs were written by Johnny Lange and Lew Porter.

This film was later released on DVD as Trapped in the Badlands.

Plot

Tom Cameron, the Lone Rider, pretends to be an outlaw named Keno—a task made easier due to the fact that Tom looks exactly like the outlaw. He pretends to be the outlaw in order to find Keno's accomplices, and recover a large sum of stolen money from Keno's last heist. Unfortunately for the Lone Rider, one of the outlaw's buddies, Blackie Dawson, begins to suspect Tom is not who he claims to be. [4] [5]
