Code of the West (1947)

In the grit-dusted landscapes of a lawless western town, a righteous cowboy named Bob Wade (James Warren) and his loyal partner, Chito Rafferty (John Laurenz), find themselves as the unexpected saviors of Ruth Stockton (Debra Alden) and her father (Harry Harvey) from ruthless stagecoach marauders. Their arrival is timely, as a wave of settlers threatens to disrupt the iron-fisted control of the cunning saloon owner, Boyd Carter (Raymond Burr). Heart set on justice, Bob is driven to break the chains of corruption that have long held the town hostage. Carter, understanding the potential windfall the incoming railroad brings, greedily eyes the ranchers' lands. His nefarious plans to keep his grasp on the town involve sabotaging the Stocktons' noble intention of launching an honest bank for the settlers. When Banker Stockton bravely lends money to the beleaguered ranchers, Carter retaliates with a cruel display of power, burning them out of their homes. Bob, recognizing the unmistakable hand of Carter in the chaos, is spurred into action. The final straw is when Carter's henchman Saunders is unmasked, igniting Bob's fiery resolve to restore law and order. Code of the West (1947) weaves a classic tale of good versus evil in the untamed frontier, where morality is as scarce as water, and one man's courage can tip the balance towards justice.

Code of the West is an action movie featuring James Warren and directed by William Berke.
