Ghost of Hidden Valley is a 1946 American Western film directed by Sam Newfield and written by Ellen Coyle.

[1][2][3] Ed Blackie Dawson (Charles King) and his gang of ne'er-do-well cattle rustlers are driving their heist across the abandoned Trenton ranch.

When a stranger shows up at the ranch, Dawson kills him and blames the deed on the "ghost of Hidden Valley."

Good guys Billy Carson (Buster Crabbe) and his sidekick Fuzzy Q. Jones (Al St. John), who were friends with Trenton's father, Dudley, save him from the initial attack.

Arnold then tries to blame Carson for Dawson's death, but the truth survives, the outlaws are captured, and the ranch is saved.
