About Riders of Pasco Basin
Kirby and Evans are pulling off an irrigation project swindle and newspaper editor Scott realizes it and sends for Lee. Lee agrees with Scott and forms a vigilante group to fight the Sheriff and his deputies brought in by Kirby. But a dying Uncle Dan sets the Sheriff straight and this brings the two sides together for the big shootout.
Directed by Ray Taylor, Riders of Pasco Basin leans on a strong ensemble — Johnny Mack Brown, Bob Baker, Fuzzy Knight — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1940.
