Gun Law

Finding a man alone in the desert, Marshal Tom (George O' Brien) is relieved - of his horse, clothes and water. When he catches up to Raven, he finds him dying from drinking bad water. When he gets to Gunsight, everyone thinks that he is the outlaw Raven and he plays it out so that he can end lawlessness.

An entertaining b-western starring George O' Brien benefits from a good idea - a marshal is mistaken for a notorious bad guy and he plays along with it, hoodwinking the villain almost to the end - and it doesn't outstay its welcome, and the plot is agreeable enough. The opening in the desert with the marshal bumping into the Raven, though, was an eye grabbing one, setting the scene for the rest of the film.
