Its title notwithstanding, the PRC western Range Beyond the Blue was lensed in glorious black-and-white. Singing cowboy Eddie Dean and his sidekick Soapy (Roscoe Ates) enter into the thick of things when they thwart a stagecoach holdup. Our heroes take it upon themselves to champion the cause of stage-line owner Margie Rodgers (Helen Mowery), who’s being victimized by an unknown villain. Dean suspects that there’s more to the case than mere robbery, and he’s right: someone wants to gain control of Margie’s business, and that someone is?.. Well, that should be obvious the moment the “mystery” villain saunters into view. Range Beyond the Blue was the next-to-last entry in PRC’s Eddie Dean series.
