Ramrod (1947)


Plot Summary


A cattle-vs.-sheepman feud loses Connie Dickason (Veronica Lake) her fiance, but gains her his ranch, which she determines to run alone in opposition to Frank Ivey, (Preston Foster) "boss" of the valley, whom her father Ben (Charlie Ruggles) wanted her to marry. She hires recovering alcoholic Dave Nash (Joel McCrea) as foreman and a crew of Ivey's enemies. Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates. Connie's boast that, as a woman, she doesn't need guns proves justified, but plenty of gunplay results.
