The others are Rayburn, Chic Lyman, Billy Sweet, Bob Mulford, Curley Tom, Eaton, Garth and an old prospector named Cluff. Apache Jack leads them into Indian country where they come across an oasis in a gully wash. They not only find water but also a natural of vein of silver. Sheriff Cummings prevents any of them from returning to town to file a mining claim. The next morning, Eaton is missing and all of the horses are gone. Then Cluff is killed in an ambush.

Goofs

One of the characters refers to the ten of spades as the death card. Most card readers/ fortune tellers refer to the ace of spades as the death card. The ten of spades is most often interpreted as indicating a journey (though, to be fair, death could be seen as a journey). See more »

Quotes

Chick Lyman: Out here we don't pry into anybody's affairs. It just ain't healthy.
Bob Mulford: Well, if my health isn't threatened by anything more dangerous than you, I won't worry much.

BAD LANDS WAS "BAD" !
8 November 2003 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Western stories are one of my best enjoyments, however, Bad Lands 1939 just did not hold my attention at all, the only two actors in this film who carried the picture on their backs were, Noah Beery Jr.,(Chick Layman) "Riverboat" '59 TV Series, who was the son of veteran actor Wallace Berry. The other actor, John Payne (Apache Jack) "Tin Pan Alley '40 who was a singer in many film musicals in the 20's. John Payne and Noah Beery were just starting out in their film career's and if you like these actors, the film is worth watching.
