The Man from Painted Post Synopsis
In order to find out who's behind a cattle rustling operation that's hurting ranchers, a detective for the Cattleman's Protective Association pretends to be a tenderfoot from back east who's just arrived in the area and doesn't know how to ride, rope or shoot.
The Call of the North Synopsis
Galen Albret, factor of the Hudson's Bay Co. in the Canadian Northwest, believes Graham Stewart guilty of conspiracy with his wife and sends them into the wilderness, where they die. Years later, Ned, Stewart's son, is a free trader interfering with Galen's trade, though unaware of Galen's connection with his fathers death. Ned is captured, but Galen's daughter, Virginia, helps him to escape. Discovering Ned's identity and that his father was unjustly suspected, Galen offers him an opportunity for revenge, but Virginia intervenes and the factor relents, surrendering his daughter to Ned.
"The Man from Painted Post" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Call of the North" offers its own unique cult appeal.
