Summary: It doesn't have much action, but it does have Rita Hayworth
Review: Tex really hit the jackpot in Trouble in Texas; he always had a pretty little filly to ride off into the sunset with, but this time around it was none other than Rita Hayworth (appearing under the name Rita Cansino), who was just on the brink of bona fide stardom in 1937. Trouble in Texas is far from Tex Ritter's most exciting film, but the Rita Hayworth factor makes it one of his more notable B-westerns.

Tex Masters (Ritter) and his typically goofy sidekick Lucky (Horace Murphy) have been traveling from one rodeo to the next in search of the rodeo bandits that killed Tex's brother. At the same time Tex is riding into Middleton, Texas, to sign up for the big event being staged there, Carmen Serano (Hayworth) is arriving as an accomplice to the racketeers, who are led by an hombre named Barker (Earl Dwire). What no one there knows is that Serano is a government agent sent to get the goods on the bad guys. As you might expect, Carmen takes quite a shine to a certain charming singing cowboy. The bad guys notice him, too, especially when he starts winning all of the big money events in the rodeo competition, and mark him for death. I won't tell you how they go about taking him out, but I have to say it's one of the oldest tricks in the book.

As far as the action goes, much of the rodeo action seems to be stock footage. Of the two fights Tex gets into, one of them actually takes place behind closed doors - which is sort of a gyp. There's less riding and shooting than usual in this western, as well. Then there's Lucky, who distinguishes himself as one of Tex's more annoying sidekicks. Tex is still Tex, though, and his singing (including Cowboy's Lament, Song of the Rodeo, and Down the Colorado Trail) along with Rita Hayworth's dancing make Trouble in Texas a B-western worth seeing.

Note: this review is of Trouble in Texas only. You may be reading this review under an item packaging a film called The Dancing Pirate alongside the film in question, but I can only comment on Trouble in Texas.
