Son of the Guardsman is a 1946 Columbia film serial. It was the 31st of the 57 serials produced by that studio.

Son of the Guardsman is a rare serial with a period setting, in this case 12th century England. The serial is largely based on the Robin Hood legends, to the extent of including outlaws from Sherwood Forest, but it does not include or reference Robin Hood himself.

The serial was produced by the notoriously cheap Sam Katzman and directed by Derwin Abrahams. Robert Shaw starred as the heroic noble-turned-outlaw David Trent with Charles King as his villainous uncle Sir Edgar Bullard.

Synopsis

Set in the middle ages, Sir Edgar Bullard conspires to conquer England. In doing so, he kidnaps the daughter of his rival, Lord Markham. This causes his nephew, David Trent, to turn against him and join the outlaws in Sherwood Forest, who led by Allan Hawk. Meanwhile, the outlaws of the forest support the usurped Prince Richard as the rightful ruler of England, who has been usurped by the regent Lord Hampton.

Le Death Rides the Range occidental de Ken Maynard, par ailleurs standard, se distingue quelque peu par une orientation d'actualité. L'intrigue concerne un groupe d'espions d'un pays étranger sans nom (bon sang, ils sonnent certainement allemands) qui se dirigent vers l'ouest pour saper le moral des Américains. Dans ce malaise erre Maynard, soi-disant cowpoke sans racine mais en réalité un agent du FBI. Les choses commencent à se réchauffer lorsque les méchants revendiquent un puits d'hélium sur la propriété de l'héroïne Fay McKenzie. Le moment le plus idiot du film se produit à mi-chemin, lorsque le méchant en chef Charlie King commence à battre tout le monde à bout de bras, sans aucune égratignure sur sa propre personne.
