The directing team of Ford Beebe and Ray Taylor, who also teamed for such classic cliffhangers as Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, The Green Hornet, Winners of the West and Don Winslow of the Navy, delivered an epic Western serial, running 15 chapters and featuring an all-star cast that includes Dick Foran (The Petrified Forest, My Little Chickadee, The Mummy’s Hand, etc.), Buck Jones (Western legend who died tragically in the Cocoanut Grove in 1942), Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams (Santa Fe Trail, Virginia City, Station West), Leo Carrillo (The Cisco Kid), Noah Beery Jr. and Jeanne Kelly (aka: Jean Brooks — The Falcon and Co-eds, The Leopard Man, The Seventh Victim, Youth Runs Wild) as the good guys.
They are pitted against an equally impressive cast of villains, including Charles Bickford as Wolf Reade, Lon Chaney, Jr. and Roy Barcroft.
Chuckawalla Charlie (Frank Austin) discovers the Lost Aztec gold mine, but does not live long to enjoy the riches contained therein. His niece, Mary (Jeanne Kelly) get his map and everyone is out to take it from her. Only “The Riders,” a vigilante group, stand in their way … 15 chapters of Wild West adventures, cliffhangers, shootouts, mine shaft terrors and brawls!!
