Perc Westmore Costumes by STORY SYNOPSIS (Not For Publication) Wade Hatton (Errol Flynn), a roving cattleman, brings a herd of steers into Dodge City and while there gets into trouble with Jeff Surrett (Bruce Cabot) who rules the wide-open town. At the request of some of the town's law-abiding citizens, particularly Abbie Irving (Olivia de Havilland), Hatton takes on the dangerous job of shoriff, and starts a clean-up campaign. With his rough and ready henchmen (played by Alan Hale and Guinn "Big Boy" Williams), he goes to work enforcing law on the Surrett mob. Crusading editor (Frank McHugh) is murdered while collecting damaging evidence against Surrett. This puts the final spur to Hatton's determination to wipe out the dangerous terrorists, and he does it in a series of brawling, two-fisted battles. His reward is Abbie, whom he marries and takes with him as he moves further westward with the growing nation.
