This is the third movie in the Lone Rider series, which spans seventeen films—eleven starring George Houston, and a further six starring Robert Livingston.
Houston, once an opera singer, sang four songs in this film: "Old Cactus Joe", "In Old Spring Valley", "Sweet Suzanna" and "Under Prairie Skies". The songs were written by Johnny Lange and Lew Porter. This film was later released on DVD as Ghost Mine.
Tom Cameron, also known as the Lone Rider, and his sidekick, Fuzzy Jones, are called in to investigate if a ghost town actually has real ghosts haunting it. It turns out the truth is the "ghosts" are really the hideout for a gang of outlaws who fake the "ghosts" to keep people away.[4]
