Overview

Sheriff of Redwood Valley is a 1946 American Western film in the Red Ryder film series directed by R. G. Springsteen and written by Earle Snell. The film stars Wild Bill Elliott, Robert Blake, Bob Steele, Alice Fleming, Peggy Stewart, and Arthur Loft. In the story, Redwood Valley residents raise fifty thousand dollars to blast a mountain tunnel for a new railroad. Town leader Bidwell engineers a plot to steal the money and blame it on the Reno Kid, played by Bob Steele, who has recently broken out of prison to clear himself of false charges that sent him there and caused him to lose his ranch. The badly-wounded sheriff turns his badge over to Red Ryder. Reno visits his wife, Molly, and their ailing son Johnny. Red, also wounded, is brought there by Little Beaver, and he begins to believe Reno is innocent.
