A Lawless Street

DramaWestern78 min

In the frontier town of Medicine Bend, order depends on a marshal trying to keep a lid on violence in a place where grudges and guns settle most disputes. As he pushes back against the men who profit from chaos, the job stops being only about the badge and becomes tangled with local loyalties, old resentments, and the town’s resistance to being ruled at all. Randolph Scott is at the center as a lawman holding a fragile peace while pressure builds from every side. Angela Lansbury appears in the conflict as the marshal faces a community where every attempt to impose justice risks setting off another fight.
