Fighting With Kit Carson

In this Western, comprised of 12 chapters from a serial, Kit leads a group carrying a large gold shipment across the wild West. When the Mystery Riders attack and steal the gold, Kit is the only survivor. He later joins forces with the cavalry to retrieve it.

Directed by Colbert Clark, Armand Schaefer, Fighting With Kit Carson leans on a strong ensemble — Johnny Mack Brown, Betsy King Ross, Noah Beery — 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 western titles of 1933.
