Jim Blake, a former Commissioner of Indian Affairs and now a rancher, is asked to become Marshal in Civilization, Kansas. Clay Stacy, who Blake had arrested 5 years before for killing Buffalo on Indian land, is now out of jail and causing havoc. Martha Mercer, whose father was Marshal before Blake and killed by Stacy and his gang, doesn't have much faith in Blake and refuses to hand over her father's gun and shield until his death is avenged.
U.S. Marshal Clay Stacy brings law and order to a frontier community terrorized by an old Nemesis.
... I hope there were no schoolchildren in the theatre when this little short ran back in 1945. The thing is, the voice over, everything about this short, might lead somebody to believe that this is how history played out.
The short talks about real things - the wholesale slaughter of the buffalo, the Indian attacks on the settlers to try and save their food supply, the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, and the wild west days of some of the cow towns in Kansas.
Into these real events some completely ridiculous and fictional events are inserted. First there are the fictional villains of the piece - "The Stacy Gang" - who apparently are almost single handedly responsible for the slaughter of the buffalo and imprisoned for it. In fact, nobody went to jail for killing buffalo. For a long time, the country's highest generals, politicians, even then President Ulysses S. Grant saw the destruction of buffalo as solution to the country's "Indian Problem." Then there is the joining of the pieces of the Transcontinental railroad that in this piece occurs in Kansas not Utah. Then there is a town growing up around the place where the sections were joined called - Civilization, Kansas??? There is no such place, and why would a town grow up around where a spike was driven and for no other reason? But then those Stacys are loose again, killing the sheriffs of Civilization, and the grown daughter of one, Dorothy Malone as Martha Mercer, decides she will be the law and avenge dad's murder. Hold it? She just thinks she can inherit the office? Actually, this is one piece of logic brought up by Marshal Jim Blake (Robert Shayne). Well Martha winds up being more a hindrance than a help as self appointed sheriff when she accompanies a gold shipment on a train robbed by the Stacys, gets cornered in a shoot out, and when Blake and his men try to stop the robbery she warns them too late AND gets taken hostage by the Stacys just long enough so they can get away.
Blake puts her in the Civilization jail, but leaves her with her gun and bullets, and heads off to confront the Stacys. This might account for her running around loose a short time later. All of this leads to a face-off between Blake and Stacy in a wild west saloon that turns into a free for all bar fight that actually looks like it was taken from the WB western "Dodge City".
The whole thing is great fun, just don't believe a word of it as fact. And as for Dorothy Malone, she has only been in film for two years, has dark hair at this point, and I wouldn't even have recognized her if it hadn't been for the credits. She hasn't developed her "look" yet.
The saloon brawl and the runaway horse team scenes are from Dodge City (1939) with Errol Flynn and Victor Jory. Both Jory and Guinn Big Boy Williams can be seen if you look quickly enough. What a waste of film. On the up side it did provide some pay checks for a few out of work actors and other studio employees. As usual, after the big deal fist fight between our hero sheriff and the villain the villain's face is bloody and our hero's face doesn't have a mark. But in as much as the short was made to entertain little kids and to sell popcorn it served it's purpose. It's not like they were out to make Gone With the Wind or Ben Hur. It would be interesting to hear what the producer and director had to say about why they made it and how they got permission to use film from other movies.
