William Beaudine (1892–1970)

Because of a back-log of war orders, the Lambert Airplane factory is unable to try-out the robot-controlled plane developed by test pilot Jerry Barton and weather bureau observer, “Doc” Williams. The pair lie in wait for factory owner George B. Lambert while he is playing golf with his spoiled débutant daughter, Betty, and send up their radio-controlled model where Lambert cannot fail to notice it. But Jerry sets the model down in a pool of water and douses Betty. Lambert authorizes Jerry and Doc to test their remote-controlled robot pilot on one of his planes for the Army. Jerry flies the plane up, bails out and Doc is to land the plane using his remote control box. But foreign agents, wishing to hamper the development of the robot pilot, have tampered with the controls, and Doc is unable to pull the plane out of a spin, and it crashes. Lambert fires Jerry and he and Doc return to the remote weather outpost to do more work on their invention. Betty, on her way to Hollywood to be a movie star, is driving across the desert with her Aunt Maude and runs out of gas,and Betty borrows some gas belonging to the U.S. government, and is caught by Jerry. He decides to place her under arrest, pending the arrival, in a week’s time, of the U.S. Marshal. Jerry makes Betty and Aunt Maude do housework and chores. The spies steal a plane, crash in the desert, show up and make some trouble, and try to get away in a car in which Betty and Aunt Maude are hiding in the trunk. (fonte: Imdb)… (mais)

Baron Frankenstein’s daughter Maria (Narda Onyx) is continuing her notorious father’s experiments and has relocated to the American West - apparently to take advantage of the plentiful electrical storms. Holed out in a renovated monastery things are going relatively well for Maria until outlaw Jesse James (John Lupton) arrives on the scene along with his partner Hank (Cal Bolder). Unfortunately for the hunky Hank he makes the perfect specimen for Maria’s dastardly experiments. The wildly implausible plot and the trashy, low budget aesthetics of this ludicrous horror / western hybrid actually turn out better than could have reasonably been expected. It is, of course, rubbish, but enjoyably so, with veteran director William Beaudine serving up a ridiculous concoction of inept direction, low grade acting and redundant effects. The brilliantly monikered Narda Onyx steals the show with her fantastic accent, managled phrasing and sly, dead-pan delivery. All this makes for plenty of ironic, unintentionally hilarious fun.… (mais)

A gold mine in Arizona, that was formerly losing a lot of money, suddenly turns into a veritable money-making machine. However, the owner, instead of being happy about his now profitable business, insists to Charlie that something is fishy and that someone is out to murder him. Charlie and his "crew" travel to the mine, pretending to be tourists staying at a nearby dude ranch so as not to arouse suspicion, and discover that the owner may well be right--it looks like the mine is being used as a cover for criminal activities, and that someone is indeed out to murder him.
