The Bells of San Angelo

This action-packed 1947 western stars Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Trigger and Andy Devine as the comic relief sheriff.

Roy, a border investigator, and Dale, a western novelist, foil a silver-smuggling racket, but not before Dale gets kidnapped and Roy (and, of course, Trigger) ride to her rescue.

Come cheer for the good guys and jeer at the baddies!!

We'll also show the next installment of the original Superman serial.
