Jim Steele spots Pete Dawson taking horses over the Mexico-Texas border, but Dawson has an alibi. A new group of recruits arrives at the Ranger station, among them Tex Wyatt, the son of Ranger Captain John Wyatt, whom he hasn't seen for many years. Captain Wyatt tells Tex that he is in the Rangers strictly on his own merit and there will be no favors played. He assigns Tex to pick up Dawson's trail, but orders that no arrest be made without proof.

best movie i've ever seen.

Allison Davies

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

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.
