Lake, the locale of the film is the
surrounding community of Tomb
stone, Ariz., known in the olden
days as a roaring, politically cor
rupt mining town where lawlessness
and death were the order of the
day.
The story centers around the in
cidents in the life of Wyatt carp,
the vests most widely known peace
officer and the fearless leader of
the law and order forces who tanned
the elements that had made Tomb
tsone known the world over.
Mr.. O'Brien is cast as the from
tier marshal, debonair and of the
fashion, plate type, who, because of
the girl he loves, remains in the
city to avenge her fathers murder,
and at the same time bring law
and order to this town of bedlam.
Mr.. O'Brien finds that he is faced
with a difficult task, for he diScov-
ers the mayor of the town is in al
lance with the outlaws that have
given Tombstone its disreputable
name.
How Mr.. O'Brien manages to
overcome these difficulties and cap
ture the murderer of the girls
father, is reputed to bring the film
to a dramatic conclusion.
Irene Bentley, who is said to out
West Mae West in her characteri-
cation Of "Queenie," is seen in the
leading feminine role opposite
OBrien. Other members of the cast
are George E. Stone, Alan Edwards,
Ruth Gillette, Berton Churchill,
Frank Conroy, Ward Bond, Edward
