Released in 1936 the «The Vigilantes Are Coming» was filmed by the Republic Studios. The story spotlights the great times when a gold deposit in Mexican California was discovered in 1844. This event caught the interest of Cossacks from Russia and they invaded the country aiming to strike some gold. Their commander Count Ivan Raspinoff and General Jason Burr are in cahoots and want to make California a colony of Russia, where Burr will be the dictator. Greediness and craving for power induce these leaders to mine gold using the slave labor.
The antipode of this alliance is the fearless stranger known as Eagle, he is a simple man whose name is Robert Livingstone. He hides under the mask of the secret hero and doesn’t want to be recognized. Probably his personal life tragedy motivated him to start this confrontation. There is something slightly similar with the legend of Zorro. Hence, if you’re fond of watching stories of this genre, you definitely should discover this one. Besides, most opinions agreed that this is a high-quality serial despite it’s quite a vintage movie. We want to gather all the admirers of good-old movies on our channel to enjoy and share views!
