"WAYLAID...BY HIGH ADVENTURE ON THE RANGE!"17 February 1946Action, Western60 mins
One of four western films made for PRC by bantam-weight Bob Steele, Ambush Trail stars Steele as cowpoke Curley Thompson. The villain of the piece intends to bankrupt all the local ranchers and grab up the surrounding property for himself. But with Curley involved, the bad guy and his minions don't have a chance.
