Valley Of The Lawless casts Johnny Mack Brown as a man looking to reclaim some gold that belonged to his family who buried it before an outlaw attack. Brown's grandfather was killed, but drew a map that one of the outlaws ran off with double-crossing his own gang. Years and generations later Brown and members of that old gang are looking for Gabby Hayes who did the double-crossing.
Complicating Brown's quest now is the fact that he's now fallen for Gabby's granddaughter Joyce Compton who also has the sheriff's son Dennis Moore panting after her as well. But the outlaws won't give all of these people any time for romance.
This is a nicely paced B western that gets right down to business and doesn't leave any loose ends to bad editing. It holds up very well after more than seventy years. Brown who started out as a leading man after his All American career at the University of Alabama found a very nice niche in Hollywood as a good cowboy hero in B films. Definitely for the connoisseur of the B western.
