The King and Four Queens (1956)

In the heart of a quaint town, the tales of the four infamous McDade Brothers echo in the whispers of the locals. Three of these notorious outlaws met an untimely end during their last heist, while the identity of the surviving brother remains shrouded in mystery. Amidst this intrigue, Dan Kehoe, a cunning con man on the lam, finds himself drawn into the narrative, lured by the tantalizing promise of the brothers' hidden treasure of $50,000 in stolen gold, stashed away somewhere in the family ranch at Wagon Mount. Despite cautionary tales of the McDades' fiery matriarch, a crack shot with a deep-seated aversion to strangers, Kehoe audaciously ventures to the ranch. He craftily weaves a web of deception, spinning a tale of a jailhouse encounter with the surviving McDade son to win over the old woman. The ranch, however, is not solely occupied by the stern widow. Four stunning McDade widows, each yearning for companionship and harboring the hope that her husband is the surviving heir to the treasure, have remained there under the vigilant eye of their mother-in-law. Kehoe plays a dangerous game, charming the women and carefully pitting them against each other, all in a quest to uncover the gold's location. However, the matriarch's protective instincts are as keen as her aim, and she guards her daughters-in-law's virtue as fiercely as the hidden treasure. Unwittingly, she may have just allowed the fox into the henhouse by letting Kehoe within her walls. The King and Four Queens is an enchanting tale of deceit, desire, and the lengths one man will go in the pursuit of fortune, set against the backdrop of a family haunted by its outlaw past. Will Kehoe succeed in his dangerous gambit, or will he find himself outfoxed in this high-stakes game of cunning and survival?
