King of the Pecos

Don't mess with the Duke especially when he's out for revenge! John Wayne, a slick gunfighter and lawyer returns home to avenge the murder of his parents by the local cattle baron (Cy Kendall). He first attempts to do so legally, but his efforts are thwarted and he resorts to taking the law into his own hands. Wayne joins a group of wronged landowners to battle the cattle baron and his gang of vicious henchmen. Fast-paced direction by Joseph Kane (Hoodlum Empire) and superior photography by Jack A. Marta(Cat Ballou) are just two of the highlights of this early great western. Muriel Evans (The New Frontier) once again plays Wayne's love interest.
