Tom Mix Ralston Straight Shooters, The

Tom Mix and his Ralston Straight Shooters was the major rival of Jack Armstrong - The All American Boy, and began airing on NBC on September 25th 1933, for 15 minutes three times a week. 

Although he never appeared in it, the series was based on Tom Mix - a real cowboy and Hollywood screen star whose life had been so glorified through Hollywood publicity that he had become the ideal hero - along with his wonder horse, Tony, who was already famous from the movies. 

All of the stories were set around Tom's ranch, the TM-Bar in the Texas country, where Tom lived with his elderly sidekick - the Old Wrangler - and his two young wards, Jimmy and Jane.
