Oath of Vengeance

Fuzzy Sets Up Shop
This is a review for OATH OF VENGEANCE (1944) a "B"western release by PRC and directed by Sam Nuefield.

The story concerns the outlaw problems that both local ranchers and farmers are experiencing in a wave of trouble that unknown to them is being orchestrated by businessman Steve Kinney, played by Jack Ingram, and his henchmen.

Brand new shopkeeper Fuzzy Q. Jones,played by Al St. John, afraid of losing the outstanding accounts on his books due to the impending range war, gets his pal, Billy Carson, played by Buster Crabbe, to join him in proving who's behind the ruckus. With Mady Lawrence, Charles King, Kermit Maynard, Marin Sairs, Karl Hackett.

OATH OF VENGEANCE is a very entertaining "B"western with some pretty funny comic bits contributed by Al St. John, who plays Fuzzy Q. Jones. I rate it a Four Star "B" movie.
