Description

In 1866, Kansas, the American civil war has just finished and the armies disbanded. The building of the West begins, and in 1872, the new city of Dodge City is ruled by violence and shootings. The Irishman Wade Hatton is a man adapted to these days and presently is conducting a group of pioneers, including Abbie Irving and her reckless brother, to Dodge City. Once in the city, Wade is invited to be the local sheriff, and an incident makes him accept the position. He tries to clean up the cattle town, ruled by the powerful outlaw Jeff Surrett and his gang, with the support of the decent local people.

2023 movie #2. 1939. A decent cowboy (Flynn) takes on the job of sheriff in lawless Dodge City and successfully woos the prettiest girl in town (de Havilland) even though he'd shot her wild brother (in self defense). Great Western and in color. The granddaddy of barroom brawls.
