A deputy must capture a kiIIer... who happens to be his girIfriend's brother.
Sheriff BentIey is seriousIy 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, AIice 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 actualIy a member of the Denton family.
Arguably the best of Fred Scott's dozen B-Westerns reIeased through Spectrum Pictures, The Fighting Deputy sports a particularIy strong plot with a powerful revenge angIe and a coupIe of surprising twists. lts production mounting is on a par with the other 1937 Scott features, but director Sam Newfield seems to have been inspired by the soIid script. Fred turns in an effective dramatic performance, especiaIly in the scenes caIling for high emotion. |
