Hopalong Cassidy - 3 on the Trail / Hopalong Cassidy Returns
by Howard Bretherton
from Image Entertainment
Another great double feature from that hero of the wild, wild west, Bill "Hopalong" Cassidy! In "3 on the Trail" (67 min.), an Englishman named Ridley, now turned rancher, announces that his cattle are disappearing, and Hopalong Cassidy helps him track down the rustlers. The second feature, "Hopalong Cassidy Returns" (74 min.), finds Bill on his way to Mesa Grande, where he is the new Marshal. Along the way he stops a runaway horse and saves a woman's life. Upon arriving in town, he discovers his old friend, the town's newspaper editor, has been brutally murdered by the very same woman Hoppy just saved, a hardnosed businesswoman who runs the town.
