This movie was a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT! And that is due to the staff of IMDb who posted it in the genre as "WESTERN." But let me explain after the plot.
A "GANGSTER" is stealing cattle and selling them to the market. His son, who is now grown, comes to meet him. (Apparently the boy had not met him since a small child.) He and his son begin to get along really well. He wants to teach his son all that he enjoys so he introduces the young man to horses. Before long, the FBI arrest the father and take him to federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. The son joins the army and gets himself transferred to a nearby camp in Kansas so he can mastermind the prison break of his father. He does but has a change of heart in the process and has to go after his father to bring him back to prison. His father, who broke out with another prisoner, has a fight with the other prisoner because that one wants to shoot the man's son. He shoots at him with a Smith & Wesson .45 semi-automatic clip-loading pistol. And then the father shoots him with a similar weapon and kills him. The father escapes and on goes the movie.
I've listed these details to PROVE this is NOT A WESTERN! It has ABSOLUTELY, Positively NOTHING whatsoever to do with the genre of Western. It is a 1920-1930's gangster movie with submachine guns, cars, and at no time does anyone wear a "sixgun" strapped to his hip, wear Western clothing or talk like a cowboy. Everything about this movie is 1920-1930's flavor. Whoever the staff person was that placed it in the "Western" genre was is a fool. And I am extremely disappointed with IMDb for such blunder as it cost me a lot of money to obtain this extremely rare movie thinking I was getting a Western.
I checked the "spoiler" because I'm not certain if this is a "spoiler" or not. Perhaps it is as I've expressed myself deliberately to the staff of IMDb with the hope they will correct this blunder and be more careful with their listings. For any website that would brag of "Visited by over 27 million movie lovers each month!" ought to be more accurate as 27 million other people will be disappointed also to learn they cannot trust this website for accurate genre listings.
