This Frame Wasn't For A Picture
5 August 2021
The Ranger and Tonto learn that ex-convict John Ames has been released from prison after serving a term for stagecoach robberies. Ames claimed he was innocent and that the founder Brothers framed him with false testimony. Now Ames wants to even the score with the Gunders and our heroes want to protect Ames from killing them and going back to prison. But can they do it?

Underrated John Kellogg plays John Ames. His next role after this one was as Major Cobb in the best movie academy award nominated film, "Twelve O'Clock High." Kellogg was in three pictures that were nominated for best picture: The Pride of the Yankees (1942), Twelve O'Clock High (1949), and The Greatest Show on Earth (1952). The last of the three won the award. Kellogg always gave a convincing performance in all his roles. He is really good in this LR episode.
