Scarlet River
Scarlet River is a 1933 American pre-Code Western film directed by Otto Brower, written by Harold Shumate, and starring Tom Keene, Dorothy Wilson, Roscoe Ates, Lon Chaney Jr. and Edgar Kennedy. It was released on March 10, 1933, by RKO Pictures.
The West. A covered wagon pulls into view and stops. The couple in it have reached the end of the line. There is no water. A flourish of car horns announces the arrival of a huge limousine and a crowd of people, there to sell oil leases. Every attempt to find another location or angle is frustrated by real—and comical—life. The Hollywood cross-country marathon is the last straw.
Back at the studio restaurant, a colleague shows star Tom Baxter a photo of the Scarlet River Ranch, about to be returned with an unsolicited scenario. The photograph dissolves into the live ranch, where the mailman is trying to fit a returned manuscript into the mailbox. The eager author, Ulysses Mope, gallops up and falls off his horse. The mailman outlines the situation at the ranch: Miss Judy must renew the note or the lender will foreclose.
Foreman Jeff approves young Buck's chewing tobacco and gets him to take care of his horse. Ulysses tells Jeff about his movie plot: A foreman is planning to steal a ranch and force the owner to marry him. Ulysses is oblivious to the fact that he is describing Jeff, who turns on him, blaming Ulysses for a long list of problems draining their resources. Judy enters, and Jeff pressures her to marry him. Ulysses interrupts with the studio's letter about using the ranch as a location.
Jeff meets with banker "Clink" McPherson and demands a larger cut from their deal, but Clink threatens to tell the sheriff that Jeff is responsible for the rustling, hay-burning's and water-poisoning.
The Tom Baxter troupe arrives in a parade of vehicles. Tom is attracted to Judy and distrusts Jeff. Ulysses tells him about their troubles. Tom sees through it.
Jeff accuses Tom (who does all his own stunts) of being a "powder puff actor," and the director arranges for Jeff to do a stunt. He fails, and Tom does it properly, before Judy's admiring eyes. In the bunkhouse, Jeff picks a fight with Tom, who quickly knocks him out.
Later, Judy watches the filming of a kiss, and confesses to Tom that she could never make love in front of people. Ulysses interferes with the love scene, and the director calls for Benny to bring the "job stick", a slender length of wood and cord which he entangles in Ulysses' vest. If he can get it off without breakage, he can have a job.
