Description by OLDIES.com:
A local Indian tribe has been staging deadly raids on wagon trains traveling along the Arizona frontier trail. Centered around the town of Preston, this uncharacteristic violence is becoming a serious problem, leaving lawmen Ken Maynard and Hoot Gibson to figure out who's really behind the killing and plundering. As luck would have it, notorious bandit Duke Dillon is set to serve out his prison sentence in Arizona. Hoot proposes that a more lenient sentence might convince him to point out those responsible for stirring up trouble with the Indians.
Ken Maynard and Hoot Gibson, two of the most famous cowboys from the 1920s and 1930s, both returned to the silver screen in 1943, teaming up as the Trailblazers. Maynard appeard in the first six of eight Trailblazers pictures produced by Monogram, with three of those also featuring Bob Steele.
