Cowboy Larry O'Day and his sidekick Lucky Smith happen upon a distraught Barbara Hartwell, who is about to be arrested for the murder of her uncle. With Barbara behind bars, Larry is determined to find the real killer and soon finds himself in the middle of a mystery involving crazed German entomologists and a smuggling ring bringing Chinese "picture girls" across the Mexican border for sale to wealthy Chinese bachelors.
This is without a doubt the worst Bob Steele film I have ever seen. While I wouldn&#39;t go so far as to give it a 1 like bkoganbing did, I sure thought it was terrible. What&#39;s worse is that some of Bob Steele&#39;s westerns were quite good, so I knew he was capable of much, much better.<br/><br/>The film is set in the modern day and is about a murdered entomologist. The sheriff is about the dumbest guy I&#39;ve ever seen in one of these films and he&#39;s intent on arresting the dead guy&#39;s niece only minutes after he&#39;s arrived to investigate. However, an unknown benefactor helps her escape jail--and immediately the moron sheriff assumes Larry (Bob Steele) did it--mostly because Larry had the unmitigated gall to be a stranger in town AND question the idiot sheriff&#39;s competence. Naturally, good &#39;ol Larry didn&#39;t do it and, surprisingly, the leads point towards a guy smuggling in illegal aliens!!! <br/><br/>The plot is certainly bizarre, but this isn&#39;t the only thing working against this terrible film. For some odd reason, the writer felt it was important to pepper the movie with jokes--none of which were funny or worked in the least. Add to that the most shiftless and annoying sidekick in movie history and you have the makings of a lousy B-film. Not 100% terrible...just 98.7%!
Border Phantom (1937)<br/><br/>** (out of 4)<br/><br/>Barbara (Harley Wood) is taking care of her horse when she hears a gunshot. It turns out her uncle was murdered and soon afterwards she&#39;s arrested for the crime. Luckyly for her, Larry O&#39;Day (Bob Steele) and his partner Lucky Smith (Don Barclay) are around and try to clear her name.<br/><br/>This low-budget Western is certainly one of the strangest that you&#39;re going to see. It turns out that there&#39;s a major subplot dealing with mail order brides so I&#39;m sure parents had some explaining to do to their kids after this one was over! If you&#39;re looking for a well- made movie then you&#39;re obviously not going to find it here. As we know, the main goal of a &quot;C&quot; Western like this was to just get something up on the screen for cheap.<br/><br/>The biggest problem with this movie is the fact that the screenwriter threw all sorts of comedy into the mix and it&#39;s just not that funny. The worst part is the dumb sheriff who is rather obnoxious in how blindly stupid he is. Steele and Barclay give the type of performances you&#39;d expect from them. The supporting cast are all pretty bad performance wise. The one thing going good for BORDER PHANTOM is some camera-work during night time scenes where it seems it was influenced by the German films of the previous decade.
