Jaclynne greene biography of rory

Joel McCrea plays Circuit Judge Rick Thorne, a man intent on bringing law and justice to Western communities run by the gun.

He finds just such a community in the town of Bannerman.

Rancher Josiah Bannerman’s family owns nearly everything and controls what it doesn’t, including the law.

But Thorne’s arrival is timely. A man named Morrison has been gunned down, supposedly in self-defense, by the rancher’s hot-headed son, Tom.

McCrea is intent on bringing Tom to trial. He has two witnesses willing to testify that it might not have been a clear-cut case of self-defense.

Bannerman is just as intent to make sure such a trial never takes place.

If there’s justice to dispense in his land, he’ll do it.

And if Thorne can’t be bribed, bought, maybe he can be tempted to follow the Bannermans’ wishes by Tom’s lovely cousin Amy Lee (Miroslava).
