The Stranger from Pecos

The personable Johnny Mack Brown is about the only thing that lifts this just above your average oater. His easy going Southern charm and likability keep this going to to the end and make it watchable. Very standard storyline, the sheriff is in co-hoots with the local banker (you just know a banker would be a baddie, don't you?) and it's up to Johnny and fellow undercover Marshall, Raymond Hatton to bring them to justice and free an innocent man accused of murder, in a final shootout at the saloon.

Female interest is in the form of Christine McIntyre, who has little to do except look either pretty or worried. It's all very basic and pretty forgettable but it passes an hour easily enough. But really, one for fans of the western genre only.
