Description by OLDIES.com:
Wanderers Of The West (BW, 1941): Tom Mallory is hunting for the man who killed his father. Posing as an outlaw, "The Arizona Kid", he joins a band of cattle rustlers in hopes of finding information. Little does he know that the leader, Westy Mack, is secretly his father's killer...and that he plans on getting rid of Tom next.
Shot on location in Prescott, Arizona, Wanderers of the West was the first in the second series of eight Westerns Keene made for Monogram. In these films Tom was paired with ten-year-old Sugar Dawn (real name Mervelyn Steinberg). A trick rider who was never seen without her paint pony Chiquita, Monogram thought Sugar would appeal to the kids who went to see Westerns. In fact, the predominantly male audiences were nauseated by the saccharine junior cowgirl, and she was dropped after the fifth in the Keene series, Arizona Round-Up (1942), which was also her last appearance on film. Directed by Robert Hill.
Drums Of Destiny (BW, 1937): Captain Jerry Crawford and his troops come to the aid of a family being sieged by Indians on the Spanish border. After questioning the marauders, Jerry learns that rebel Spaniards have been supplying the Indians with weapons. Now the soldiers must stop the contraband from reaching the frontier without causing all-out war. One of the other historical pictures Keene made for Crescent was Old Louisiana (1937), which was based on a short story called "Drums of Destiny". Producer E.B. Derr decided to use that title for this film, instead. Directed by Ray Taylor
