Frontier Badmen

A group of cowboys ending their cattle drive in Abilene find that cattle prices are being kept artificially low, driving down the price they'll get for their beef. They set out to change the situation.

Entertaining and punchy western centred on the greedy middlemen and the benefits of a broker free market. Has some really funny one liners, beautiful women, gunsmoke, a fiery stampede, stampede raging through town, cows smashing through windows and Lon Chaney jr. As a guitar strumming henchman to Thomas Gomez' villain. There's a great cast of western character actors like Noah Beery Jr., William Farnum, Leo Carrillo, bullwhipping Andy Devine, Kermit Maynard, and Robert Paige, who bears a slight resemblance to James Stewart, does well as the hero. Frank Lackteen as the Indian makes me laugh with his dead pan delivery. "You talk too much."
