Gun Glory
Gunfighter and gambler Tom Early (Stewart Granger) rides into a Wyoming town where he once lived with his wife and son. In the general store, owner Wainscott hates him and is annoyed when he believes clerk Jo (Rhonda Fleming) is flirtatious with Early. At his old ranch, hoping for a reunion, Early finds his wife's grave and his 17-year-old son, Tom Jr. (Steve Rowland), an immature man embittered by his father's having abandoned him and his mother. Jo takes a job as housekeeper at Early's ranch. She resists the advances of Tom Jr., whose resentment of his father grows. He kisses her once but she gently reproaches him. When they attend church, storekeeper Wainscott turns the preacher's (Chill Wills) congregation against them, insinuating Jo is living in sin with Early. The townspeople need help, though, when gunmen working for the villainous cattleman Grimsell (James Gregory) ambush one of their own. A posse, ineptly led by the preacher, is formed and goes after the gunmen. The preacher leads them into an ambush, and half the posse become casualties. By the time Early, who had been doing something else, gets to the ambush site, the preacher is dying and Tom Jr. is wounded in the leg, their horses gone. The preacher sends Early away with his son, knowing he is mortally wounded he takes Tom Jr. home, and he and Jo patch him up. Early then sets out after the gunmen. Locating a trail in a pass Early knows the cattle drive must take, he uses dynamite to start a rock-slide when Grimsell moves the herd down the trail. The cattle stampede to escape the rock-slide and some of Grimsell's men are killed by falling rocks and the cattle. Grimsell and one of his men, Gunn (Arch Johnson), follow Early back to his ranch, getting there first. Grimsell tries and fails to intimidate Jo and Tom Jr., giving Early time to disarm and thrash Grimsell. In a showdown, he fights with Gunn and beats him. Gunn, lying on the ground, tries to shoot Early in the back but Tom Jr. comes to his rescue, shooting Gunn down, killing him. Grimsell rides off, defeated. Reconciled, Early and Tom Jr. acknowledge their kinship. Jo and Early decide they like each well enough to stay together, raise Tom Jr., improve the ranch, and finish building the church, as Early had promised the dying preacher he would do. They kiss to seal the bargain, their marriage implied.
