The Gambler Wore a Gun

Case Silverhorn (Jim Davis), a professional gambler, purchases a ranch through the mail, but the man he buys it from is murdered before the title-deed can be recorded. THe seller's children, Jud (Don Dorrell) and Sharon Donovan(Merry Anders)have no knowledge of the transaction and will not vacate the ranch. Taking a job ate the local saloon, Case discovers that rustlers, unknown to the Donovans, are using the ranch-lands to hide the stolen cattle. Jud learns of the operation and is killed by the gang, and Case is framed for the murder. (An uncredited remake of about five different B-westerns of the 1930s and 40s, which is likely the reason that the prolific Orville Hampton signed his screenplay as Owen Harris.)
