THE TOUGHEST RANGER

Young cowhand Petey McGuire, played with a sweet comic touch by voice impressionist and animation actor Josh Robert Thompson, is down on his luck, and he hopes that joining up with the legendary Arizona Rangers might at least afford him a decent meal. But he knows he's going to have to act tough and talk tough. L. Ron Hubbard liked telling tales that had a little lesson in them, and what better setting for a fable than America's Old West? The story is loaded with the sounds of galloping horses, jangling spurs, and nifty 1960s-style spaghetti-Western guitar licks as the fastest gun in the West finds out that to take on the meanest outlaws and win the girl, you just might have to grow up.
