Texas Masquerade (1944)

In the heart of Texas, a dangerous game of subterfuge and greed unfolds as the notorious outlaws, Maxson and Trimble, scheme to usurp the oil-rich lands from unsuspecting ranchers. Using the shadowy Night Riders to instill fear, they effectively force the ranchers away from their properties, unbeknownst to the hidden wealth beneath their feet. In the midst of this chaos, the iconic cowboy hero "Hopalong" Cassidy finds an opportunity to intervene when he discovers a wounded lawyer, Corwin. Assuming Corwin's identity, Cassidy trades his rugged cowboy attire for the polished garb of an eastern gentleman, creating a masquerade to infiltrate the corrupt world of the outlaws. However, the ruse is short-lived as Sam Nolan, an old acquaintance, recognizes Cassidy upon his arrival to town, threatening to unmask him before his mission is complete. Irrespective of the risks, Cassidy continues his daring impersonation, playing a high-stakes game of deception to force the outlaws to show their hand. With the unwavering support of his loyal companions, California Carlson and Jimmy Rogers, and a determined posse, Cassidy reclaims his true identity. Together, they take on Maxson, Trimble, and their gang, fighting to expose the truth and to protect the ranchers from the claws of greed and manipulation. In "Texas Masquerade", the tension of the Wild West is intertwined with the cunning of a mystery thriller, creating a narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat, rooting for the ranchers' justice. The oil fields of Texas have never seen a fight like this.
