Behind the scenes

The working title was Rough Rider Patrol. Contemporary production reporting identified the Nevada ghost town of Rhyolite as a filming location, supplying frontier architecture for this early Roy Rogers Western. Lynne Roberts was billed under her then-current screen name, Mary Hart.
