The Dawn Trail (1930)

Description

A fiery feud erupts in Osage County when some newly-settled sheepherders dare to use the same watering hole as the cattlemen who have been in Osage for years. This tension comes to a head when Mart Denton, son of wealthy rancher Jeff Denton, mur-ders one of the sheepmen during a heated argument. Larry Williams, the town sheriff, is forced to arrest Mart despite his heart telling him otherwise not only have the two been best friends since childhood, he is also currently engaged to Mart's sister, June. While escorting him to jail, some of the cattlemen attack and help Mart escape, leaving Larry for dead. He is nursed back to health by June, despite now considering the lawman persona non grata for arresting her brother. Once again strong and fit, Sheriff Williams heads out to end the feud between the cattlemen and sheep-herders once and for all - even if it costs him his best friend and the woman he loves.
