As other "B"-western series kept dropping like flies in 1952, Johnny Mack Brown kept grinding 'em out for Monogram. In Man From Black Hills, Johnny tries to help locate his saddle pal Jim Fallan's (James Ellison) long-lost father. Arriving in a small mining town, Johnny and Jim discover that Jim's father has established a financial empire--and that a local opportunist (Randy Brooks) has capitalized on this by claiming to be the old man's son. A few fistfights and gun battles later, things are set aright. Man From Black Hills was directed by Thomas Carr, who went on to a prolific career on episodic television. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
