For the historic minded, Cross Fire is filled with all kinds of topical references indicating the time.
Young Tom Keene goes off to World War I and when he returns finds things have changed in his home in the west. The five old timers who raised him is now four. The mine they had is systematically being looted of its assets and strangers are in charge of law and order. Foreign elements from the east have moved in and they have a machine gun.
Fortunately Keene faced those in France. Together with sidekick Edgar Kennedy whom he picked up there when they were doughboys the bad guys are of course routed and Keene gets the heroine Betty Furness.
Rather dull western with an appeal toward jingo type patriotism. Today's Trump worshipers would love it.
