The Terror Synopsis
Rancher Pop Morton and his daughter Molly are victims of Blair Hatley, (who is pursuing Molly and holds the mortgage on their ranch). Molly meets Art Downs, but she does not know that he is a Texas Ranger.. Art is mistaken by Steve Baird, (who is one of Blair Hatley's men), for "The Terror," a notorious Arizona bandit. Art goes along with it to go after the rustlers for Pop and Molly. He finds that Molly has been kidnapped by the rustlers. Art rescues Molly, but is then stopped along the trail by Hatley's brother. Molly is taken again by the rustlers. Later, Art returns to the Morton ranch with a posse. He rescues Pop Morton and Molly from the rustlers. He then discloses his true identity as a Texas Ranger and wins Molly's heart.
One Shot Ross Synopsis
"One Shot" Ross, who has brought law and order to the town of Painted Gulch, decides to hang up his six-shooters when he sees the daughter of one of his victims sobbing over her dead father's body. While traveling East, Ross's stagecoach is held up and Ross, knocked unconscious, is taken to a nearby cabin owned by the Sheridans. After Mr. Sheridan is killed when he inadvertently stumbles upon Jim Butler and his gang dividing up the spoils from the stage robbery, Ross takes pity on Nan, the old man's daughter, and decides to bring the outlaws to justice. Feigning feeble-mindedness, Ross obtains a job on Butler's ranch and uncovers evidence which proves that Butler is the leader of the outlaws. Heading the posse, Ross captures Butler's gang and then rides off to the Sheridan cabin where, in a shootout, he rescues Nan from Butler.
"The Terror" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "One Shot Ross" offers its own unique cult appeal.
