Battling with Buffalo Bill (Tom Tyler) E06 - Trapped - Watch Western Series Online

Battling with Buffalo Bill (1931) is a Universal Pictures movie serial based on the book The Great West That Was by William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, which had also been used as the inspiration for the studio's highly successful 1930 serial The Indians Are Coming.

This was Universal's 78th serial, the 10th with sound and 4th with full sound, of the studio's total of 137 serials.

The plot is a variation on the standard B-Western "Land Grab" plot Gold has been discovered in the area and gambler Jim Rodney intends to make sole claim to it by pushing the rightful owners off the land and taking it for himself. To do so he has his henchmen kill an Indian woman, provoking attacks from her tribe. This brings Buffalo Bill and the United States Cavalry into the town. Buffalo Bill proceeds to defeat Rodney and his schemes.
