Forget "Cowboys and Aliens"

Let's go back to 1936 for "Ghost Patrol"  from Excelsior Pictures (distributed by Puritan Pictures).  Tim McCoy stars as an undercover agent who's sent to investigate plane crashes caused by a mysterious ray gun.

Yes folks, this is a science-fiction Western.

Joining Tim in the cast are Claudia Dell, Walter Miller, Wheeler Oakman, Jimmy Burtis, Lloyd Ingraham, and Dick Curtis.

With story by Wyndham Gittens (a veteran of motion picture serials), this film was produced by Sigmund Newfeld and Leslie Simmonds and directed by Sam Newfield.
