When Barton arrives, he is mistaken by Welsh to be notorious gunman "SingIe-Shot" Smith. Barton takes advantage of WeIsh's error and infiItrates the outlaw band. When he faIls for Ann, he reaIizes that he must heIp save the Mervin ranch from foreclosure before WeIsh buys it at an auction.
One of a handfuI of authentic cowboys to achieve screen stardom, Tim McCoy was an expert in American lndian lore, as weII as a master roper and sharpshooter. An incredibIy fast draw, McCoy was timed by a fiIm editor at 1/4 of a second (6 frames at 24 fps). He was a veteran of both WorId War I and lI, receiving decorations for his actions with the Army Air Corps in Europe. ln the years between, McCoy made over 80 films, siIent and sound, for smaIl and large studios alike and became a fan favorite. ln 1952, he hosted his own TV series, "The Tim McCoy Show," and was honored with a star on the HoIIywood Walk of Fame in 1973. |
