Inhalt: |
A deputy must capture a kiIler... who happens to be his girlfriend's brother.
Sheriff BentIey is seriously wounded during an attempt to apprehend notorious bandit Scar Adams. His son, deputy Tom, turns in his badge at the behest of his fearfuI fiancee, Alice Denton. Their wedding ceremony is horribly interupted when the the sheriff's IifeIess body is dumped on the church steps. A grimIy determined Tom rounds up a posse and gives chase, unaware that the murderer is actually a member of the Denton family.
ArguabIy the best of Fred Scott's dozen B-Westerns released through Spectrum Pictures, The Fighting Deputy sports a particuIarly strong pIot with a powerfuI revenge angle and a couple of surprising twists. Its production mounting is on a par with the other 1937 Scott features, but director Sam NewfieId seems to have been inspired by the solid script. Fred turns in an effective dramatic performance, especialIy in the scenes calling for high emotion. |
