Producer's Releasing Corporation inaugurated its trio western series with this
film The Rangers Take Over as Jim Newill, Dave O'Brien, and Guy Wilkerson play
a trio of Texas Rangers. Some elements of such classic films as Lives Of A Bengal
Lancer and Rio Grande are found in the story.
Ranger sergeant Newill is on the trail of some horse thieves and also given some new recruits to train and they include O'Brien who is the son of the Ranger captain Forrest Taylor who is one strict disciplinarian. Guy Wilkerson also a new recruit has history with Taylor when he was a scout in the cavalry where Taylor also served.
Basically father and son have their issues but it all comes out right in the end as the trio of Newill, O'Brien and Taylor is formed and they go on to many new assignments in a series of films for PRC.
Perennial western villain I. Stanford Jolley is the ringleader of the horse thieves and by no means a fool. Interesting how he's taken down.
For a PRC film, the usual shabbiness, but not too bad as this studio did not exactly bid for Gone With The Wind.
