Description

Gunfighter "Brazos" Kane lays aside his guns "forever" when he is forced to shoot his best friend, and decides to join another friend, Bob Tyrell, as a cowhand on the Inskip ranch. Upon arriving there he finds the bullet-riddled body of his friend. He carries the body to the Banner ranch, the largest in the territory, and is accused by Banner of murdering Tyrell; Banner orders Deputy Sheriff Bill Yount, who is in Banner's pay, to arrest Kane. But Kane has the sympathy of Banner's daughter, Jane, who notifies Inskip of Kane's plight, and Inskip arrives in time to prevent a lynching. Sheriff Kiscade dismisses the murder charge for lack of evidence. Brazos then sets out to find the killer of his friend. Bess Bannister, Jane's sister, is in love with the Banner ranch foreman, Bard Macky, and knowing that Bard killed Tyrell and that Kane will track him down, then hampers Kane's mission somewhat by pretending to be in love with him.

    Randolph Scott is "Brazos", an accomplished man with a gun who finds himself accused of the murder of a man on a ranch. Can he prove he is innocent before the law, and the ranch-owner catch up with him? I usually find Scott a bit too sterile in these roles and here is no different. His style of acting is dignified and aloof - and somehow or other that just leaves the adventure element a bit flat. Add to the mix the almost twin-like sisters of "Bess" (Barbara Britton) and "Jane" (Dorothy Hart) and the romantic elements further contribute to the dullness of the whole thing. Bruce Cabot and Forrest Tucker try to inject a touch of menace into the proceedings, but sadly just to little too late to rescue this from mediocrity. Rudy Schrager's score is neither one thing nor the other, either - it dances a line between jollity and peril in an overblown and interfering fashion and all told, we are presented with nothing at all special, here.
