The Arizona Kid

Roy Must Choose Between Friendship and Justice

Roy Rogers, the King of Cowboys, and Dale Evans, his saddlemate onscreen and off, host a roundup of Roy's best which made him #1 at the box office for all Western stars, every year from 1942 to 1954. The only versions authorized by the Rogers estate, they're mastered with the best available source material and contain added as Roy, Dale, and their guests recall the "happy trails" they've traveled together.

This 1939 film from director Joseph Kane (Southward, Ho!) opens in Missouri in 1861, as war threatens and Roy sees his friend Dave Allen (David Kerwin) falling in with "bad company," Val McBride (Stuart Hamblen). When war does break out, Roy and Gabby Hayes joins the Confederate army as scouts, but McBride's band begins looting and killing, and so the Arizona Kid must choose between justice and his friendship with Dave.
