The Westerner 1940

In the dusty American West, drifter Cole Harden faces off against the notorious Judge Roy Bean, accused of horse thievery. A clever claim of acquaintance with actress Lily Langtree earns Cole a reprieve. But when the judge's henchmen murder an innocent homesteader's father, Cole seeks vengeance, tracing the corrupt judge to a performance by his beloved Langtree.
