The Hanging of Jake Ellis

Cattle driver Jake Ellis arrives in a bawdy little cow town and finds his archenemy, Frank Hall, waiting for him. In the saloon, Jake loses his money and his horse to Isabel, a voluptuous gambler who deals from a stacked deck. The smell of food cooking over a campfire attracts impoverished Jake, and he soon finds the campsite and seduces the cook, young Kathy Dupray. After the Duprays give Jake a beating for romancing Kathy, they tell him of Frank Hall's plot to cheat them in a cattle deal. (TCM)
