Black Hills (1947)
5/10
An Inheritance of Gold
18 March 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Black Hills finds Eddie Dean and sidekick Roscoe Ates coming to the aid of brother and sister Shirley Patterson and Steve Drake after their father has been murdered by veteran western villain Terry Frost. Frost discovers that the father has discovered a rich vein of gold in a cave on the ranch. After that it's kill the father and then try to take the ranch which is heavily mortgaged.

In on the dirty scheme is assistant land office commissioner William Fawcett who is heavily in debt to Frost. He conducts a quick land sale to pay the overdue mortgage.

Dean survives a scheme to frame him for the commissioner's murder and brings the bad guys to justice. And along the way sings some nice western ballads.

Roscoe Ates entertains us with some clumsy attempts at card tricks. He has a very funny scene escaping from a closet where he overhears the villains plan some crimes.

Decent enough B western from PRC where Dean reigned as their resident cowboy hero.
