The Telegraph Trail (1933)



A greedy businessman-turned-renegade foments an Indian uprising against the coming telegraph to perpetuate his economic stranglehold on the territory.

Mediocre Western with some humor and the usual shoot-outs with villains and Indians.

Halliwell (no star): "A lacklustre Western, with action scenes lifted from the silent The Red Raiders made seven years earlier, though Wayne does get to wear a rather fetching fringed jacket."

Maltin**: "Lesser-grade Warner Bros. B Western."
