Synopsis:
In August 1863, Jim Dancer, searching for his brother's killer, rides with Quantrell's raiders against Lawrence, Kansas. Yancey, one of the guerrillas most responsible for the band's bad name and reputation, accosts Evelyn Slocum. Yancey tell Dancer that Evelyn's father is the man who killed Dancer's brother, and Dancer takes revenge by killing him. But the man he is searching for is really the dead man's brother, Bert Slocum. When the Civil War ends in 1865, Dancer becomes a fugitive, hunted by Slocum and George Cummings, a detective for the Pleasanton Agency. Cummings finally catches Dancer, and it is only then that Dancer learns he killed the wrong man. While crossing the river on a makeshift ferry, Cummings is accidentally killed. When they are found, Dancer introduces himself as Cummings, saying the dead man was Jim Dancer. As Cummings, Dancer becomes a track-worker at Lanyard, Kansas. While the town is celebrating the arrival of the first cattle-drive herd from Texas, one of the cowboys menaces Evelyn Slocum, and Dancer stops him in a gun duel. The townsmen named Dancer Town Marshal in place of the cowardly Marshal. Persuaded by Dave Oldham and Florence Peel, both of whom know his true identity, Dancer accepts the job. But Bert Slocum is still after him, and the town's crooked justice-of-the-peace and district attorney aren't overly fond of the new Marshal and his law-and-order ways.
Reviews:
When you have Randolph Scott, you don't need much else, but "Fighting Man of the Plains" has everything.
Frank Gruber was a darn good writer of often very gritty stories. He wrote more than one story about Jesse James, a character who figures in this movie, too.
There is a rough realism in his stories, and that has translated beautifully in this film, thanks in part to Gruber's also writing the screenplay, and thanks to excellent directing by Edwin L. Marin, and thanks especially to a superlative cast.
One mark of a well-written and -directed film is the realism of the interaction of minor characters.
Another mark of a great movie is the number of speaking and participating characters, even with relatively small parts.
In "Fighting Man of the Plains," watch the anonymous characters, such as the blacksmith who's asked for directions, and the bartender who passes on messages and serves meals. In lesser films, they might get to nod or maybe point, but in a great film, such as this one, they speak and participate in what's going on.
Look for, for example, the great John Hamilton, and the great Paul Fix as a sleazy, vile character. Watch, too, for such greats as Lou Nova and Kermit Maynard. And not one of them gets screen credit! This is a great movie, extremely well done, and I urge you to see it.

You know a western movie is going to be good if Randolp Scott is in it.
Besides all the fine actors, this Scott movie had a really good plot. Never a dull moment. Keep on posting them.😊😊
One of the many many Randolph Scott movies I have seen. Well worth the watch. Thank you.
Randolph Scott has so many great western movies
This was Awesome!!! Only time I've seen these actors play the outlaws, wish they were around to know how much they're still appreciated. I'm so glad we can watch these type of programs all these years later.
I try to watch a R.Scott Western every Saturday. at 9am. ❤
I had never seen that Randolf Scott movie before, that was a really good one. Jessie James was played by a really good actor who later had several star roles himself and in the successful TV series "Tales of Wells Fargo", the actor Dale Roberson. Not often do I run across a good classic western I have never seen😃
Enjoyed this movie immensely.
Thank you for sharing this film with us. Having watched a bunch of Randolph Scott movies in association with Harry Joe Brown, I was surprised to see Nat Holt produced this one. Victor Jory was a good guy, too! First time seeing this film. Good production, great, logical, humane ( for the most part) and true to the setting's historical era. ❤🎉😊
Nat Holt worked a few Bob Steele !!!
Thank you for sharing this film with us.
Bill Williams as new deputy to Randolph Scott. What a neat combination. Both good looking men and great actors. 😅😅😅😅
Every time I see a Randolph Scott movie all I can think about is that scene in Blazing Saddles.
There are certain great black and white western's that shouldn't have been colorized, and this is definitely one of those outstanding movies...
No, I liked it colorized. though they could have done a better job. in the shadow areas, they had some difficulties.
According to an Amazon comment: "Every source I've consulted (including Robert Nott, Jefferson Brim, and Les Adams-Buck Rainey) indicates that the original Twentieth Century-Fox issue was in Cinecolor. But as Cinecolor was a cheaper, and in some ways less stable, medium, Cinecolor prints of the film have apparently been lost".
A happy 4th with the great Randolph Scott.
Great entertainment. Loved the movie.
Thank you for sharing it.
This movie needed to be about a half hour longer. But, it was great all the same.
Love Scott so much ❤❤❤
Randolph Scott. I haven't seen a bad movie yet with him in it.
you are correct,him RANDOLPH AND JOEL McCREA, oh my
DALE ROBERTSON, a solid actor. I remember him from the WELLS FARGO and IRON HORSE series.
You’d do it for Randolph Scott.
Love Randolph Scott
Blazing saddles reference, I got it. Getting old.
Right!
"I hear only what I see." A sophisticated way of saying I only believe what I see
Watching from the largest and most powerful country in the world 🌍 🇷🇺
quite well done
Great movie, I enjoyed it all through.
New one for me...love it
Me I like the black and 1:15:29 white better. It's still a great movie. Thanks for posting it for all to enjoy. Happy 4th of July
B&W 🤮...this is colorized...it's a lil funny
He fought the men of the plains amen 🙏
Amen@!
Wonderful movie, great ending thanks so much !!!!!
Good movie! Worth Watching!
It is so great that the south lost to the north in the civil war, because we needed to keep our country as one whole unit, and descention in our country would have led to our demise. And it remains that we need to maintain coherence in our country according to what our forefathers set up for us in the Constitution. That is what makes America the great USA.
Dale robertson as a side kick at the end. Very strange. Wish he had a more prominent role.
Great western. I like that I new what was going to happen next in the story.
Well done movie with good character actors...Good story line., one of the best roles for Victor jory as a good gambler ..Paul Fix as a bad killer Yancey.
I recently read that the Oakland Raiders logo is based off Randolph Scott’s face. No relation to this movie just thought it was interesting and wanted to share
That would be true 👍
Thanks for sharing 😊
I'm loving these old westerns since my retirement. Great actors!
awesome movie...well done and thanks for the upload.
I had not known that. Thank you for sharing it.
One I hadn’t seen. I liked it .
Yes my favourite star
Great one here farshure
Dale Robertson is one handsome actor.
VICTOR JORY, a good character actor who always played bad guy.
Great movie!
Pleasant and Scott steals the show as always but implausible plot and predictable ending. Silly scripts like this set the stage for the spaghetti westerns.
Excellent❤
Mr.Scott was originally a good old boy from Orange Virginia . I live in Lemon head lol
Good storyline, it ended too soon! Semi love concern, did he stay to help the town? 👍🏾👏🏽😉👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯😎
Introducing: Dale Robertson!
Victor Jory as one of the good guys
VERY nice ending, WHY can writer and director show us kissing ending, dam!
the movie would have a lot better if it wasn't for a commercial every 2 1/2- 3 minutes. did enjoy the movie though.
Não tem legenda em português
this will make you go blind, it's so fuzzy
I've yet to see a decent colorized version of anything.
You colorized a Cinecolor film???
This is the first time I've seen that guy (bar owner) as a good guy. Always a bad guy. He was injun Joe in Tom sawyer long time ago
right, Victor Jory famous heavy. most evil in "The Fugitive Kind" with Brando
Well, most of it was colorized... 🤣
I hate that SCOTT plays a badly guy?
Many of the early marshals and sheriffs were bad guys that reformed.
I'D RATHER SEE IN B&W, COLORIZED JUST AINT THE SAME
👍
I want an immediate refund for the fraudulent title. There were no planes in this film, and I watched it in its entirety.
Good sense of humor
Worse colorization EVER!
Dale Robertson...stealing scenes since way back.
