Shotgun Jones

1914 · 20 min

A brisk, dusty silent-era chase with simple stakes, watched more for its vintage texture than for suspense.

Overview
Thomas Lattier is a well-to-do westerner in the cattle business. One fine day he sells a herd of cattle, receiving for it cash payment in bills of large denomination. He proceeds to town alone to deposit it in his bank. Two bad men, Bretall and Hayes, have learned of the deal and trail him with a view to securing the money.
