Dawn Rider: Life undergoes an unfortunate twist when John Mason discovers that the bandit who shot his father is the brother of his friend's beloved -- who's falling in love with John.Sharp dialog, moving performances, and heart-thumping chases mark this early John Wayne Gem.
Long before The Searchers and The Quiet Man, before Red Rider, and even before Stagecoach made him a star, John Wayne paid his dues in a series of B Western made at the Mascot, Warner Brothers, Monogram, and Republic studios.The Dawn Rider is among the most stylish of the westerns Wayne made during that era, which is no surprise, given the talent involved.
Texas Terror: John Higgins returns from self-imposed exile to run Bess Mathews' ranch.What will happen when Bess finds out that her beloved new foreman is the man presumed to have killed her father?
In Texas Terror, Wayne play John Higgins, who's been tricked by bandits into thinking he's killed Dan Mathews, a man who's been like a father to him.Higgins nurses his grief in self-imposed exile until called by his friend the Sheriff to come to the aid of Dan's daughter Bess.Higgins objects, concerned that Bess will discover his role in her father's death, but the Sheriff prevails on his honor, the driving characteristic of many a character portrayed by Wayne.
