Jesse James Rides Again is a 1947 American Republic Western film serial.

Plot

[edit]

Gunfighter Jesse James is framed for a Missouri bank job and murder by a black-cowled outlaw gang, known as "The Black Raiders". Unable to clear his name, he and companion Steve Lane, whose father was murdered during the bank robbery, flee to escape the posse. They ride into a town where they receive shelter from Ann Bolton and her elderly father, Sam Bolton, whose ranch is being regularly attacked by The Black Raiders. The same gang are led by Frank Lawton, who in turn had been hired by James Clark, a businessman. Through him, The Black Raiders attempt to drive the Boltons and other farmers off their land because of localized oil reserves in the area.
