The Arizona RaidersAnother above-average entry in Paramount's
Zane Grey series, Arizona Raiders was adapted from
Grey's Riders of Spanish Peaks.
Buster Crabbe, here billed under his given name of
Larry, stars as outlaw Laramie Nelson, who at the beginning of the picture manages to escape a "necktie party." A sense of obligation which Laramie himself cannot explain leads him to rescue another miscreant, Tracks Williams (
Raymond Hatton), from a similar demise. The two desert rats team up with a third, handsome young Lone Alonzo Mulhall (
Johnny Downs), whereupon the threesome engage in numerous adventures, many of them humorous in nature.
Marsha Hunt, as much of a "regular" in the
Zane Grey series as
Crabbe and
Hatton, plays the self-reliant ingenue. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
