The Star Packer (1934)


Lone Star Pictures
Directed by Robert N. Bradbury
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Reel Enterprises)
(Encore)

Early John Wayne western borrows many of its outlandish plot devices from serials. In a dusty western town a villain by the name of "The Shadow" gives orders to his henchman via a fake wall safe. Underground tunnels lead to a hollowed-out tree stump where a gunman gets the upper hand. The final chase scene has Wayne garbed in a white bandana on a white horse following a runaway stagecoach over a cliff to save the girl.
