Law of the Lash

Introducing Lash La Rue. He had made a few appearances in Eddie Dean westerns the previous two years, but here in he gets the top spot, basically replacing Buster Crabbe in these low budget PRC westerns, getting his sidekick "Fuzzy" Al St. John in a clear sign they just swapped for a less expensive actor for their streamlined wild west production unit. Had a different kind of chemistry with Fuzzy than Buster. Not as fun on in the first attempt, but La Rue was fine in his lead debut.

This wasn't doesn't do much out of the ordinary, but La Rue is a pretty fun watch and it's got some good lines - "What's up?" "Your hands." As far as PRC westerns go, it lands near the top, which puts it solidly in the middle of rest of the pack. It's also kind of funny because it has the single most perfunctory romance I've ever seen - they literally share a single scene together before they walk off into the sunset.
