Dead Shot Baker Synopsis
Intent upon ridding his town of crime, Dead Shot Baker, the beloved sheriff of Wolfville, drives a band of outlaws to the outskirts, where they hold up the stagecoach and carry two girls away to the hills. Baker and his posse overtake the bandits and rescue the girls, one of whom is the beautiful and willful Evelyn Baldwin, the daughter of a once wealthy miner who is now a penniless drunkard. Old Baldwin is killed in the battle and Evelyn, although penniless, refuses to work. Baker comes to her rescue and marries the girl, who then snubs him for the new postmaster. Feeling inferior to his wife, Baker invites death so that she may be free to marry the postmaster. Heading a posse against a band of notorious rustlers, Baker falls to his apparent death from a cliff. When news of her husband's death reaches Evelyn, she heads a posse back into the hills, routs the outlaws, finds her husband and nurses him back to health, thus winning the respect of the townspeople.
The Steel Trail Synopsis
A group of ranchers band together to construct a railroad through a western valley but are met with opposition by a rival railroad's owner and his henchmen who raid and destroy their efforts. The ranchers hire construction engineer, Bruce Boyd (William Duncan) to finish their project but he has only limited time and money to work with.
"Dead Shot Baker" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Steel Trail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
