Tumbledown Ranch in Arizona (1941) User Reviews

Flashbank

For reasons known only to Monogram we see Ray Corrigan and Dusty King at a modern day rodeo contestants. Then there's a flashback and we see them back in the day as their ancestors.

So with Max Terhune and Elmer in tow the guys are looking to save a widow's ranch from being gobbled up by a rapacious railroad. Their task not made easier by the fact that the sheriff is a crook and in cahoots with the railroad.

The Saturday matinee kids ate this one up.

My Childhood Heroes

[BOOWAH · 14 July 2004]

My two brothers and I used to pretend that we were Crash, Dusty, and Alibi, running through the back yard with cap guns blazing. I only remember seeing three of the 24 films that they starred in, but of the three, the most memorable was Tumbledown Ranch. This film evoked the earliest vestage of time travel, with the trio assuming a modern day personage of their "Range Buster" ancestors. After vanquishing the evil doers, they all awaken under a tree, back in their own time. Although their films would appear "corny" by today's standards, for my brothers and I they provided just the role models we needed growing up in the fifties.
