Raiders of the South

Directed by Lambert Hillyer

With Johnny Mack Brown, Evelyn Brent, Raymond Hatton, Reno Browne and Marshall Reed

Johnny Brownell, former Confederate officer turned Federal agent, is sent to Texas during the reconstruction years to obtain evidence against a gang of raiders who have been making life difficult for the local carpet-baggers. He saves the life of Shorty Kendall, an unreconstructed rebel about to be hanged, and this wins him the gratitude of Belle Chambers, a widow whose husband was killed in the Civil War who hates all Yankees with a fever.
