Randolph Scott Westerns
Randolph Scott's presence in Westerns was as steady as a mountain and just as tough. He even looked like a statue carved from granite or aged wood.
Moral and fair yet dynamic and unflinching - his on screen persona was one of the safest pairs of hands in the genre.
Some say John Wayne, others - Clint Eastwood, but for me - Randolph Scott was the best and most watchable Western movie star of them all.

One passenger, Joan Randall, who is headed to the bar as an entertainer, believes he is innocent, however. Later, Kells and his sidekick, Charles Bunko McGee, a disbarred lawyer, meet up with Joan, who happens to be Kells' former girl friend. Judge Savin is prepared to convict Jim on circumstantial evidence, but when Kells is recognized at the bar, he draws his guns and gives Jim a chance to escape. Jim later joins the Legion because Kells showed more common faith than the townspeople.

While Kells moves the camp closer to town, Jim and Bunko guard the cabin where Joan is being held against her will. Incensed that Kells is keeping Joan captive, Jim escapes and tells the judge and sheriff where to find her.
