Hopalong Cassidy Returns (1936)

In the unforgiving landscape of Mesa Grande, a town caught in the grip of lawlessness, the brutal murder of a miner named Peg-Leg Holden sets the stage for a thrilling saga. Holden, having discovered an unrecorded strike, finds his joy short-lived. The owner of the Crystal Slipper saloon, Lilli Marsh, backed by her henchmen Blackie Felton and Bob Claiborne, swiftly dispatches Holden and seizes his now-recorded claim. In the aftermath of this bloodshed, the wheelchair-bound newspaper editor, Robert Saunders, appeals for an old friend's aid. He beckons Hopalong Cassidy, a figure renowned for his ability to restore peace. Saunders, however, becomes another victim of the ruthless Blackie Felton, who cruelly ropes and drags the editor through the streets, leading to his untimely demise. Enter Cassidy, who arrives in town with his spirited younger brother Buddy in tow, just in time for Saunders' dying words. The loss of his friend kindles a burning resolve in Cassidy – a resolve to bring justice to Mesa Grande, and to confront the villainous Blackie Felton. His journey is complicated by his intriguing relationship with Lilli Marsh, a woman who, despite her apparent attraction to him, rejects Cassidy's pleas for reformation. At the heart of this gritty tale is the battle between good and evil, as Cassidy and the town's ranchers stand against Blackie's gang. The climax of the story sees Hoppy face off against the merciless Blackie and the enigmatic Lilli, alone in a gripping showdown. "Hopalong Cassidy Returns" is a riveting tale of justice, deceit and redemption, meticulously crafted and brimming with intense, high-stakes confrontations.
