Murder...
A missing archaeologist...
A lost city...
A priceless treasure...
An Indian cult...
A hint of the supernatural...
The Whistling Skull...
And the Three Mesquiteers!
All this, plus lots of action intermixed with humor, as Stony, Tucson, and Lullaby (Robert Livingston, Ray Corrigan, and Max Terhune) help pretty Betty Marsh (Mary Russell) search for her missing uncle while facing off baddies Rutledge (Roger Williams) and Otah (stuntman extraordinaire Yakima Canutt).
Directed by Mack Wright from a script by Oliver Drake and John Rathmell, Riders of the Whistling Skull is one of the best "Poverty Row" oaters of the 1930s.
Enjoy.

Love that title. Sounds like a title for one of the Three investigators book mystery series
ReplyDeleteThey are a bit older than Jupiter, Pete, and Bob and their headquarters are not in a junkyard, but at least there are three "investigators" in this western, Charles
