Cheyenne Roundup

A gang of outlaws takes over El Dorado, a ghost town, just before gold is rediscovered there. With the boom comes easy money for Gils Brandon and his henchmen. Meanwhile, vigilantes, seeking to curb the lawlessness of the town, offers the job of Marshal to Steve Rawlins. On the day that Gil's fiancée, Ellen Randall, arrives in town, Gil is shot when he makes an attack on the new Marshal. Discovered in a dying condition by his twin brother, Buck Brandon, Gil regrets his outlaw past and asks Buck to make El Dorado a decent place. Steve learns of the relationship and enlists the aid of Buck in cleaning up the town.

Cheyenne Roundup is a fun western, a little farfetched with a twin angle but I actually liked that aspect, especially when we get to see Johnny Mack Brown as a bad guy, at least for the first half before his brother takes over as a good guy in the guise of his bad brother in order to tame the town, with the help of Tex Ritter. Yes it's fairly convoluted but all the fun for it. Then there's some good humour from Fuzzy knight who, in the beginning, is a storekeeper, sheriff and judge all rolled into one as the sole person in a ghost town, that's before the bad Johnny Mack brown and his pards take over, reinstating the ghost town into a thriving town. Quite plot driven than the usual shoot em up B oater and ends with a lively shootout and brawl.
