The Lawless Frontier

The Lawless Frontier is a 1934 American Western film directed by Robert N. Bradbury and starring John Wayne, Sheila Terry, George Gabby Hayes, and Earl Dwire.

John Wayne Tobin sets out in search Pandro Zanti Earl Dwire the local bandito, for all appearances a stereotyped Mexican, though the script is twice careful to tell us he is half white amp half Apache amp only pretends to be Mexican.Zanti plans to kidnap George Gabby Hayess daughter Ruby Sheila Terry for his lusty needs. This is an unusual villainous trait for 1930s matinee westerns, aimed at young audiences who expected villains to be claim jumpers amp killers, not rapists. Ruby amp her daddy George Gabby Hayes hightail it out of there before she falls victim of the killer, escaping by a clever ruse hidden in a large gunny sack that almost gets Ruby drowned in a river. ........
