George Houston is a name very, very few people will remember. He made about a dozen movies for one of the crappiest studios of the day, PRC, and even for PRC he was not particularly talented. Here in "Frontier Scout" he has as much charisma as a potato--and the writing and direction certainly didn't help to make him look any more interesting.
When the film begins, it's the Civil War and Wild Bill Hickok and his two friends are saving the Union. Historically speaking, this is all poppycock--and, oddly, it really has nothing to do with the rest of the film!!
What follows is a typical situation in which baddies are preventing beef from being shipped because they're either killing off the ranchers and re-branding their herds or charging them ridiculous rates to take the cattle to market. So, it's up to the historically inaccurate and dull as dirt Wild Bill to come to the rescue along with his friends.
Don't say I didn't warn you about this one--there isn't a lot to recommend it. A super-dull script, super-dull acting and super-dull EVERYTHING make this a chore to finish.
