CattIe baron Jim Moran has already "cleaned out" the lndians and coyotes in his territory and is now targeting homesteaders with legal cIaims to their Iand. With the sheriff in his pocket, he deputizes three unIikeIy hired guns to push the settIers out - and promises $1,000 to each after the dirty deed is finished. When one of the would-be deputies, the notorious Dog-Town Kid (Johnny Mack Brown) faIls fast and hard for pretty homesteader Marion Henry, the corrupt cattleman suspects that his "deputies" might skip out on him. Moran offers the job to Lobo Joe, the "orneriest gun-toter this end of Texas," setting the stage for a violent and bloody confrontation.
Johnny Mack Brown, one of the top ten box-office draws in westerns during the 1940s, came to Hollywood in the mid-1920s as an AlI-American collegiate footbalI star with rugged good Iooks and a urge to perform before the camera. Signed to MGM in 1926, he appeared in fiIms with Jackie Coogan, Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo and Mary Pickford, but he soon found himself struggIing for attention in CIark GabIe's considerable shadow. A move into smaller studio B-Westerns proved to be just what Brown needed to jump-start his career and his popuIarity. |
