"Riders of Death Valley" Is New Serial To Play at Ritz Theatre In chapter one of this new serial, Jim Benton (Dick Foran) and his vigilantes, "The Riders of Death Valley," have barely broken up a phoney miners' protective league, when Chuckawalla, an old desert rat, is carried in and reveals he has traced the Lost Aztec mine a search in which he and Jim were partners. He asks Benton to give his share to his niece, Mary Morgan Mor-gan (Jeanne Kelly) and gasps his last. Just then Jim gets a tip that Wolf Reade (Charles Bickford) plans to rob the stagecoach, which is carrying Mary and Tombstone (Buck Jones), his own lieutenant. Wolf kills the driver before the Riders arrive, and the crazed horses careen toward a rickety mountain bridge. Death yawns below.
