It's The Saturday Morning Matinee
Real Saturday morning western with enough surprises and cliffhangers to have been a serial. Saw it today on TV and wondered why I'd never come across it before.
Unusual subject matter for a western. Secret Service men brought in to deal with a gold smuggling operation in Cripple Creek , Colorado. Interestingly, a gang is stealing wagonloads of freshly mined ore, instead of the smelted gold. Why? Unless they're smelting it themselves? But then; where is it taken afterwards? It's up to agents Iverson (George Montgomery), Larry Galland (Jerome Courtland) and Strap Galland aka Gillis ( Richard Egan) to find out and thwart the operation, which they do by two of them posing as bandits on the run looking for profitable employment. As you would expect, they find it remarkably easy to be taken on by saloon owner William Bishop. Is he the big guy, surrounded by villainous henchmen? And what role does saloon gal Julia play? The final reveal, and the scale and purpose of the operation, come as something of a surprise. However, there is a big clue dropped early on, if you're paying attention. But,before that there's plenty of gunplay, fisticuffs, ruses and twists to satisfy any fan of the genre.
