Description by OLDIES.com:
With an exciting dual role for Buster Crabbe, The Drifter is one of the most thrilling entries in PRC's "Billy Carson" series. Olympic swimmer and Gold Medal winner Crabbe broke into Hollywood playing the Lord of the Jungle in 1933's Tarzan the Fearless. In 1936, he famously portrayed the comic-strip character in the popular serial Flash Gordon. Beginning with 1943's Devil Riders, Crabbe was teamed with former silent comedian Al St. John in 23 Billy Carson westerns. In The Drifter, the duo are backed by a strong supporting cast including Jack Ingram, Jimmy Aubrey, Slim Whitaker and Kermit Maynard. In the 1950s Crabbe would again find success on the small screen when he starred in the series Captain Gallant Of The Foreign Legion (1955-1957).
BONUS: The Buster Crabbe Show (1951): Beginning in 1951, New York City's WOR-TV aired The Buster Crabbe Show on weekday evenings. The world-famous Olympic swimmer, cowboy actor, and Flash Gordon star hosted each show seated behind a desk in a ranch foreman's bunkhouse, regaling kids with stories, games, and interviews. Buster would also introduce a classic Western movie, cutdown to less than thirty minutes. This episode's feature is the classic Texas Rangers film Outlaw Roundup, starring Dave "Tex" O'Brien and Jim Newill.
