Description

A box set of early John Wayne films. In 'The Lucky Texan' (1934) Wayne stars as Jerry Mason, a young Texan who becomes partners with an old rancher, Jake Benson (George 'Gabby' Hayes), and they strike it rich with a gold mine. Their lives become complicated when they attract the attention of the bad guys and a woman (Barbara Sheldon). In 'The Desert Trail' (1935) he stars as a championship rodeo rider who finds himself falsely accused of being a bank robber, so he must battle to clear his name. 'Star Packer' (1934) sees Wayne playing a tough cowboy who infiltrates a gang of outlaws in order to track down the man responsible for the murder of his family. In 'Angel and the Bad Man' (1946) Quart Evans (Wayne), ex-deputy sheriff of Wyatt Earp, is now a rough and ready gunslinger. After being injured in a shootout, Evans is taken in and nursed by a Quaker family. He finds himself falling for the daughter (Gail Russell), and attempts to give up gunslinging. However, a determination to bring a group of murderers to justice threatens his new-found peace of mind. Finally in 'Blue Steel' (1934) a town is held to ransom by a band of outlaws when gold is discovered. All looks grim until John Wayne comes on the scene and stands up to them. With George 'Gabby' Hayes and Eleanor Hunt.
