Bells of San Angelo  1947-Western, 77 min

Texas Border Ranger Roy Rogers takes on a gang of smugglers with the able assistance of Dale Evans, Andy Devine and Trigger ("The Smartest Horse in the Movies"). With all the fistfights, chases and shootouts, there's barely time for a few toe-tapping tunes. Great fun on the range.
