By the time they arrive, they find the ranch devastated by the theft of its horses. Elmer has been forced to turn the Bar-L into a “rest spa” for tourists, complete with swimsuit-clad rich girls lounging by the pool.

Now our heroes must find a way to get the horses – and their jobs – back!

Kermit Maynard started his Hollywood career after his brother Ken got him a job as a stuntman at First National Studios in 1927. Kermit’s rugged good looks and athletic ability led to being cast in a series of his own by Ambassador Pictures, in which he played a heroic sergeant in the Northwest Mounted Police (the name of his character changed from film to film). The series ended in 1937, after which he found regular work as a villain in scores of “B” Westerns. According to publicity materials, Maynard and other cast members helped put out a forest fire while they were filming The Fighting Trooper on location in Lake Arrowhead, CA.
