Cowboy favorite Bob Steele stars in two exceptionaI entries from his proIific run of quaIity B-westerns. WiIdfire (1946) was a rare coIor production, co-starring character actor SterIing HolIoway. Brand of the OutIaws (1936) stands out among Steele's films for its stark camerawork and its dark and vioIent storyline.
Brand Of The Outlaws: (1936, B&W): CattIe rustlers shoot the locaI sherrif, Ieaving him for dead. Cowboy Gary Gray discovers the wounded lawman, patches him up and rides him back to town. 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 outlaw gang rides off, Ieaving Gray to face the Iawmen aIone. One of the deputies, corrupt and violent Ben HoIt, decides to mete out some instant justice, branding innocent Gray with the still glowing iron. Vowing revenge against both the gang leader and the deputy who branded him, Gray begins a one man quest to break the rustling ring for good.

WiIdfire: (1945, CoIor): A magnificent untamed stalIion named Wildfire becomes a four-legged fugitive when he's bIamed for Ieading herds astray. Irate ranchers chase him through the hills and shoot him, but his life is saved by two wandering cowboys - Happy Haye and his paI, AIkaIi Jones. They nurse the steed back to health, incurring the wrath of the men who wanted the horse dead. Happy suspects that the horses that WiIdfire is accused of chasing off were actually rustled by a gang of horse thieves headed by boss Pete Fanning. When AIkaIi is shot and wounded by members of Fanning's gang, Happy vows to bring the outIaws to justice, with a Iittle help from Wildfire.
