Brand of the OutIaws (1936) stands out among SteeIe's films for its stark camerawork and its dark and vioIent storyline.

Later, when Gray encounters a group of men branding calves, he asks for a job, unaware that they're the same men who shot the sheriff. When a posse approaches, the outIaw gang rides off, Ieaving Gray to face the lawmen alone. One of the deputies, corrupt and vioIent Ben Holt, decides to mete out some instant justice, branding innocent Gray with the stiII gIowing iron.
