Doomed Caravan
20 February 2024
Outlaws try to wipe out the Crescent City Freighting Company, but are driven off after a fierce gun battle. A squad of Army Cavalry sent to give protection are massacred by the renegades who then impersonate the soldiers. Hopalong Cassidy foils their plans and later unmasks their mystery leader.

Doomed Caravan is an odd yet different title, especially as the wagon train might be marked for robbery but it certainly isn't doomed, not when Hoppy is around. This 1941 entry is a spirited western, with a strong plot, plenty twists and some robust action. Morris Ankrum plays a slimy villain, though not openly. Only Hoppy susses him out. The man sure has a strong radar for honing in on slippery characters.
