Sangue selvaggio

Howard Hickman tells Ralph Bellamy that everyone at the polo club hates him. Bellamy signs a resignation and gets off the train in a small town without any cash, and eventually washes up at Helen Lowell's ranch, where she and niece Mae Clarke nurse him back to health. The ranch is in trouble, and the rail road refuses to shp their cattle to market until the ladies clear up their back bill. Bellamy goes into town to wire home for money, but he can't afford the call, so local businessman Stanley Andrews lends him the money, in return for Bellamy getting a 30-day note on the ranch and signing it over to him. Then he ships some of his anthrax-infected cattle with Miss Lowell's, meaning they can't be sold until after the note has been called. Bellamy keeps trying to help the ladies, but now they don't trust him.

It's what would come to be known as a 'shaky-A' western, with some notable stars on the downslide, a good story, competent direction by Howard Bretherton, and some exciting sequences, like a fire in a wheat field. Old-time silent film comic Jack Duffy has a key role, and while no one would mistake this for a major motion picture, it's definitely not your usual B western.
