The story concerns cowboy Tom Warner, who raises sheep on a cattle ranch owned by a man named Dixon, the father of his girlfriend Jean. Jean, meanwhile, is being menaced by a Mexican outlaw who wants to have his way with her. When Jean's father decides he no longer wants Tom to raise sheep on his ranch they quarrel, and Dixon later sends a gang of thuggish ranch hands to persuade Tom to see things his way.
Manuel Paquito and Tom Warner are rivals for the love of Jean Dixon. Knowing that Paquito is an outlaw, Jean favors Warner. In difficulties with the cattlemen, Tom Warner is captured by them one night; they peg him out on the desert to starve him to surrender. Paquito finds Warner and tortures him. Jean comes upon the scene, and is forced by Paquito to promise to marry him, or see her lover killed. She reluctantly chooses the former. Dixon, Jean's father, returns to Warner, who tells him what has happened. Together, they summon the other cattlemen and start to run down the Mexican. Paquito and Jean reach the nearest village and ride to the house of a clergyman. However, Tom and Dixon ride up in time to prevent the marriage. After a revolver duel, the Mexican is captured and is forced to stand by and see the marriage of his rival to Jean.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
