Prairie Law

Shenanigans! Local judge Curry (Paul Everton) is up to no good in the new west. selling land that won't support cattle or farming. Brill Austin (George OBrien) has the only water around, and he knows that Curry is lying to folks. New arrivals, the Brambull family has been suckered in, but they don't seem to want Austin's help. and Cilla Brambull (Virginia Vale) keeps changing her story. clearly, they are up to something... Can the side of right win out over all the corruption and town officials on the take? moves pretty slowly, but mostly a pretty solid story of the old west. It does get a bit silly near the end... a gun fight breaks out during the jury deliberations, and they keep on deliberating, clearly for humor. O'Brien had started in the silents, and was pretty busy in films until the end of the 1940s. Directed by David Howard. he died quite young at 45. not much information on him anywhere.
