The Fighting Peacemaker Synopsis
"Peace River" Parker is returning to his home range after serving time for a crime he did not commit. Riding a freight-car he meets a tramp named Hanna, whom he tells he is going home to his girl and his dog, the girl having promised to wait for him. Hanna tells him "Dogs remember, women do not." The rest of the journey, to Chinook, is made by stagecoach, where Parker takes the reins after replacing the drunken stagecoach driver. Hayes, a passenger, sits bedside Parker in the guard's seat, and relates some gossip that Jessie Marshall, Parker's girlfriend, has gotten engaged. The disenchanted Parker takes a job as a lowly sheepherder but balks when he learns he is to drive some sheep into the Chinook area. Chinook has always been cattle country. Parker decides to investigate.
Faith Endurin' Synopsis
Bosom friends Jeff Flagg and Jim Lee launch a cattle-raising business, but their prospects are so seriously threatened by Ed Crane and his nearby copper mining operations that Jim moves to another town. Crane tries to assault Jeff's sweetheart, Helen Dryer, and in the attempt is shot and killed by her brother Vic. Jeff, accused of the murder, leaves town closely pursued by Sheriff Sol Durkee, who hopes to identify Jeff by the scar on his left arm. In a faraway town, Jeff meets up with his old friend Jim, who, in a poker game brawl, shoots the scar away from Jeff's arm. The two return home, and when Vic finally confesses that he killed Crane to preserve his sister's honor, Jeff is exonerated. Jeff and Jim discover rich copper deposits on their ranch, and Jeff, now a wealthy man, proposes to Helen.
"The Fighting Peacemaker" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Faith Endurin'" offers its own unique cult appeal.
