Randy's town marshal 'Vance Cordell' takes on half the outlaw bands in the old West :
the Youngers, the Daltons, Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Doolin (Scott would portray him the following year himself) ...
... and even a particularly nasty 'Sundance Kid' played by Robert Ryan (no charming Redford, he).
That plot description - and title - sounds a lot like a similar Randy Scott film from two years earlier. This is Badman’s Territory (1946). It is a fun western romp that has Scott, as a lawman, follow his brother’s kidnappers to a town that harbors outlaws so we run into the likes of Jesse and Frank James, the Dalton Gang, and Belle Starr (Isabelle Jewel, stealing every scene she is in). Gabby Hayes is in both films, but then, what westerns of the '40s was Gabby NOT in.
