Lawless Range is a 1935 American Western film released by Republic Pictures, directed by Robert N. Bradbury and starring John Wayne. He appears as a "singing cowboy" in the film, with his singing voice dubbed by Glenn Strange.
Plot
[edit]Rodeo performer John Middleton (John Wayne) is asked by his father's old friend, Hank Mason, to help investigate cattle rustling plaguing a nearby town. Upon arriving, John finds Hank has been abducted, and the area is under the thumb of a gang led by the outlaw Burns.
Teaming up with the local sheriff, John adopts a disguise to infiltrate the rustlers. He uncovers a scheme by a corrupt local banker (Frank McGlynn Jr.) who is driving ranchers away through rustling and intimidation to seize control of the town and exploit hidden gold mines.
Captured and thrown into a cave alongside Emmett, a missing rancher, John and his fellow prisoner escape. Through daring pursuits, shootouts, and clever tactics, John exposes the banker’s plot, rescues Hank, defeats the gang, restores peace to the range, and wins the affection of Hank's niece, Ann.
