A Demon for Trouble

Director: Robert F. Hill Robert F. Hill

Overview

In his first of thirty-two B-Westerns for producer A.W. Hackel, bantamweight Bob Steele plays Bob Worth, a cowboy seeking employment at Lita Morton's (Gloria Shea) New Mexico ranch. Lita's brother Bud (Nick Stuart) turns him down flat and instead puts the property up for sale. The buyer, Dyer (Walter McGrail), has Bud assassinated on his way to deposit the first payment and Bob, who merely happens to find the body, is accused of the deed by Lita. Wounded by Dyer, Bob finds shelter with Mexican outlaw Gallindo (Don Alvarado) and concocts a plan to trap the killer.

Editorial Reviews

A fine little western that benefits from good location filming at Lone Pine, CA, A Demon for Trouble presents diminutive Bob Steele at his best: a fightin' and shootin' machine who could also act. Better equipped, in fact, than most of his colleagues, as his standout performances in Of Mice and Men (1939) and The Big Sleep (1946) would later attest to.
