Episode 141 - Lone Star Law and Order (Tales of the Texas Rangers)

Big screen cowboy star Joel McCrea came to radio in Tales of the Texas Rangers, a series of modern-day Western crime dramas adapted from the case files of the legendary lawmen. The Rangers used a combination of traditional methods and twentieth century police work to catch Texas’ most wanted. We’ll hear McCrea as Ranger Jayce Pearson in “The Trigger Men” (originally aired on NBC on July 29, 1950) and “Death in the Cards” (originally aired on NBC on January 14, 1951).
