Daredevils of the West

Daredevils of the West is an American Western movie serial consisting of 12 chapters, released by Republic Pictures in 1943 starring Allan Lane and Kay Aldridge.

The plot involves a gang of land-grabbers who try to prevent safe passage of the Foster Stage Company through frontier territory.

There are similarities of style with other Republic serials released during wartime, such as King of the Mounties and The Masked Marvel.

The absence of these reels may be the reason why Republic Pictures had no objection to subsequently selling off an incomplete print of the serial to cowboy actor William "Hopalong Cassidy" Boyd for use as stock footage.

All 12 chapters were screened, for the first time in 65 years, in May 2008 by the Serial Squadron at SerialFest 2008 in Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
