Movie Title

Real-life stunt flyer Al Wilson heads westward in the lightning-paced actioner Phantom Ranger. The plot was so unimportant that many reviewers were moved to comment that the film didn’t have a plot. All that mattered was seeing Wilson in action, not only in the air, but also on land in a speeding car, a racing motorcycle and a galloping horse. Yes, Wilson rescues the girl (Lillian Gillmore), and yes, he trounces the villain (Larry Steers). Though never a favorite with big-city critics, Al Wilson’s picture invariably turned a profit in neighborhood and rural “grind houses.”
