The Painted Stallion

Episode 11: Tunnel of Terror

While tumbling into a deep ravine (which, unaccountably, turns into a precipice), Clark Stuart (Ray Corrigan) manages to grab hold of a shrub and is eventually saved by the Rider (Julia Thayer) and her stallion. While Jim Bowie (Hal Taliaferio), Jamison (Hoot Gibson), and Davy Crockett (Jack Perrin) lead an attack against the enemy’s mountain stronghold, Clark is literally working from the inside, having been shown the tunnel entrance to the hideout by the Rider. Unfortunately, the hero arrives just as Dupray (LeRoy Mason) and his men create another rockslide.

Alarmed by Mexico’s independence from Spain, and by the new government’s interest in formalizing relations with America, Santa Fe despot Dupray fears the loss of his outlaw empire. Determined to remain in power, he sends a band of his men to massacre the Jamison wagon train, which is heading toward Santa Fe with diplomat Clark Stuart in tow. If Stuart manages to meet with the new Mexican government, Dupray knows that he and his misbegotten fortune are finished. But this is no ordinary wagon train – along for the ride are famous pioneers Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, and a young stowaway by the name of Kit Carson. As Dupray puts one plan after another into action, Stuart and his band of scouts are watched over by the legendary “Painted Stallion” and its mysterious rider, whose whistling arrows warnpioneers of impending danger on the trail.

Ray Corrigan, known for his roles in countless westerns, including the Three Mesquiteers and Range Busters series, stars in this fifteen episode serial. Also appearing are western mainstays Hoot Gibson, Duncan Renaldo, Yakima Canutt, Jack Perrin ,Hal Taliaferro and Charles King.
