Winners of the West (1940 serial)

Winners of the West is a 1940 American Western film serial from Universal Pictures, directed by Ford Beebe and Ray Taylor.

It stars Dick Foran and Anne Nagel in a plot about the construction of a railroad and a local ganglord, who opposes it.

Columbia's Roar of the Iron Horse is very similar to this serial, however, and the writer George H. Plympton worked on both.

He sends henchmen, including local Indians, to disrupt the construction anyway they can, from sabotage to kidnapping Claire Hartford, the daughter of the company President.

The President's assistant, Jeff Ramsay, and his sidekicks stop King Carter's schemes at every point and, eventually, defeat him entirely.
