INFORMATION FROM IMDb

Plot Summary
When Pecos Grant (Tim McCoy) arrives in Stampede, Arizona, he is greeted as Jim Rawlins,
a former inhabitant, believed dead for five years.
Utah Becker (Wheeler Oakman), town boss and traditional enemy of Rawlins,
starts a fight but Pecos quickly ends it. On the advice of Sheriff Lew Collins (Walter Brennan),
Pecos, a rancher from Texas, decides to keep up the pretense. He finds that Helena (Shirley Grey),
Rawlins' wife, is having her cattle rustled by her own cowhands,
and he fires three of them and accuses Becker of being behind the conspiracy against Helena. Pecos
sends for his Texas riders, including Steve Pickett (John Wayne),
and succeeds in running the Becker gang out of Stampede.
This brings on a gun battle between Becker and Pecos in which Becker is killed
and Pecos receives a head wound that serves to restore his memory...he really is Jim Rawlins
whom Becker had attempted to kill five years previously.

Hi,
Another Columbia relegation for Duke,
this oater featuring Tim McCoy, who in my opinion,
was the most ridiculous looking cowboy star,
if ever there was one.
With over-acting hams like Tim around, Duke couldn't fail!!!
Duke was billed 3rd., and doesn't appear at all,
in the first 18 mins!!, then disappears again!!
Rating 3/10

Wow! That summary was written by our very own Les Adams, whom I had the privilege of meeting when I was in Abilene a little over a year ago.

It finally dawned on me - the reason this movie didn't sound even remotely familiar is because I don't own it and have never seen it - no wonder!

Hi Chester,
You are the first to notice, and I'm glad someone has.
I've chatted with Les a couple of times, and whilst
researching there reviews, I noticed his name crop up,
and realised it was our very own Les Adams!!
You will find throughout the reviews, I have used
his summaries, when they are available

Here are two posters for Texas Cyclone. The first one is like the one in Keith's first post (but Keith's has much better color).

I get a kick out of those old hats. Less further away from pioneer hats than now.

Love the poster of a full-length cowboy. Nice painting. Western posters were better in the 1930s.

When I saw those screen captures above I realized I didn't have this one on DVD. So I just bought it. Look forward to watching the film again.
