A Tornado in the Saddle 81 years old
HARD-RIDIN', HARD-HITTIN' HOMBRES...FILLING THE SCREEN WITH THRILLS AND THE AIR WITH SONGS OF THE SADDLE!
A good entry in one of the better B-Western series of the 1940s, A Tornado in the Saddle starred Russell Hayden as the new sheriff of Crestview. Hot on the trail of a gang of claim jumpers led by Dalton (Tristram Coffin) and Slim (Donald Curtis), the novice lawman also has to deal with hotheaded wrangler turned deputy Bob Wilson (Bob Wills), whom he is constantly forced to fight, but only after prudently removing his sheriff's star.
