The Call of Courage Synopsis
Steve and Sam Caldwell both work on the Hazelton ranch, when Sam is shot dead. Steve is suspected in the murder and evades capture to find the real killer.
The Law's Outlaw Synopsis
Charles Easton returns to his ranch to find his property in a shambles and his chances of marrying politician Oscar Davison's daughter Rose extremely slim, after losing the election for sheriff of Pyramid County to Ethan Ransford. However, Rose appears and begs him to find the man who robbed and beat her father. Charles rides into the desert with Ethan but quarrels with his rival and shoots him. With a price on his head, Charles takes refuge at Hawk's Nest, a seemingly invulnerable retreat for bandits, and soon gains the outlaws' respect and confidence. Later he rides into town leading the two guilty men in handcuffs and explains that Ethan's shooting was merely a ploy to gain entrance into the outlaws' stronghold. Ethan appears, confirming the story, and turns his office over to Charles, while Rose gladly accepts the new sheriff's proposal of marriage.
"The Call of Courage" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Law's Outlaw" offers its own unique cult appeal.
