Bat Masterson doesn't look for trouble, but he doesn't walk away from it. When an army sergeant in Hays City tries to kill Bat and dies for his trouble, Bat heads for Dodge City where Ed, his brother, is city marshal and a candidate for county sheriff running against the corrupt Regan. Bat buys a share in a local saloon, partnering with the widow Lily. Then, after an ambush, Bat finds himself a candidate for sheriff and the heir to Ed's intentions toward Pauline, a minister's daughter. Can the upright but not always law-abiding gunslinger and saloon owner become a lawman and settle down? Or will trouble keep finding him? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
I had to laugh. Joel McCrea is in a saloon. An Army sergeant comes in mad at him that his girl use to be Joel's girlfriend. He starts shooting. Shoots his girl Molly who got in the way, wounds Joel before hes shot. But after the soldiers take the guy out, no mention of Molly? No one checks her body on the floor to see if shes alive. No mention of concern at all by Joel of his ex-girlfriend lying on the floor!! You dont see anybody remove her body. What the hell? Later he tells Bat Masterson, a friend, what happened. Again, no mention of poor, assuming dead, Molly. What???? Hahahaha. How the hell could that be so overlooked. Below, a question asks does this review contain spoilers? Should be a "Maybe" switch. Lol
