WHERE TRAILS DIVIDE This disc has almost as many features as the TROMEO 2-disc. Okay, not really. This is another classic B-movie western from the Roan Archive, featuring Tom Keene as a lawyer who becomes a lawman in order to face the gang of toughs that have suckered his brother into joining them. It also features one of the slowest chase scenes in movie history; it runs for about twelve minutes.

Until next time,
Wash out your skidmarks,
