The Gun Fighter

ruthless gunfighter Tucson forces his girlfriend, Rhita, to abandon their baby, whom he views as an intrusion. The child is rescued and raised by homesteaders Ada and Tim Lawson. Conflict arises when Santro, a rival rancher, hires Tucson to drive the Lawsons off their land. After Tucson publicly humiliates Tim Lawson, Rhita discovers the homesteader is raising her child. To protect the man caring for her son, she secretly ties Tucson’s pistol into its holster with a rawhide thong, ensuring he cannot draw his weapon during their final showdown.
