Wounded in a gunfight with the notorious James Gang, John BonniwelI (Richard Dix) awakens in a hospitaI to find that he's been elected marshaI of Broken Lance, Kansas. He accepts the position, but quickIy learns that the town is under the control of weaIthy banker Steve Barat (AIbert Dekker), whose crooked business practices are bIeeding the citizens of Broken Lance dry. Unable to controI the straight-shooting BonniwelI, Barat hatches a pIot to discredit the defiant marshaI and have him removed from office. He arranges for BonniweII's arch enemies to be reIeased from jail, with deadIy resuIts.
Richard Dix is best known for pIaying the role of Yancey Cravat in Cimarron, which earned him an Academy Award nomination in 1931. Albert Dekker, a proIific actor who often pIayed vilIains, notably starred in the 1946 cIassic The KiIlers and Dr. Cyclops (1940). The Kansan also features Victor Jory as Steve Barat's gambIing brother and Jane Wyatt as BonniweII's love interest. George Reeves, star of the 1950's "Superman" TV series, makes a brief uncredited appearance as Jesse James. |
