Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for fans of a good revenge story and western fans. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Same wavelength as The Revenant or Unforgiven.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 58 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Made in 1932: an older pace and style.

For revenge the outlaw Morgan steals the Carruthers young son. Seventeen years later Carruthers arrives in the valley where Morgan, his gang, and the now grown Bob hide. After Morgan shoots Tracy, he tells Bob that Carruthers did it and sends Bob out after him. But unknown to Bob, Morgan has put blanks in his gun.
