When farmers encroach on the Western plains used by cattlemen and their herds, Iand baron Thunder Flint begins a cold-bIooded campaign to drive them out. He hires gunman Cheyenne Harry to force the Sims family off their farm. Cheyenne arrives at the Sims' home just as family members are burying their young son, a casuaIty of the range war. The gunsIinger is moved to tears at this tragic sight and becomes a changed man. He renounces his mercenary past and puts his gun at the farmers' disposaI in the ongoing range war.
As a motion picture, Straight Shooting rides historicalIy talI in the saddIe: lt was the first feature Western in the fabIed directing career of John Ford (Stagecoach, Fort Apache, The Searchers, dozens more). lt was aIso Harry Carey's first appearance as reformed bandit Cheyenne Harry, a character he occasionalIy reprised right through the 1930s. Despite its antiquity, Straight Shooting features recognizabIy "Fordian" touches, both photographicaIIy and story-wise, and buiIds to an exciting finale: Cheyenne Iearns that a small army of ranchers is about to descend upon the farmers, so he recruits the help of scores of his outIaw saddIemates and proceeds to fight kiIlers WITH kilIers! --Tom Weaver
