Movie Title

Sheriff Bill Jones, in the line of duty, kills outlaw Joe Land and adopts
his young son, Tim. They come upon a former silver boomtown, reputed to be
haunted, whose only inhabitant is Hiram McDuff, a friend of Bill’s. Ranch
owner Joan Stanley hires Bill and Tim. Her father has been killed by the
gang of Wolf Larson. By mistake, McDuff hires the Larson gang on as ranch
hands for Joan. They plan to steal the stock while Bill is away. Tim
overhears the plot and informs Bill. Bill and Tim use ghost makeup,
skeleton sheets (even outfitting their horses with skeleton-looking
blankets) and tricks to rout the superstitious gang members… Written by Les Adams
