The Lawless Frontier (1934)
Plays here · source: Internet Archive
When outlaw Pandro Santi sets out to kidnap a prospector's granddaughter for the oil-rich land she stands to inherit, drifter John Tobin, who saves her from drowning in a river, becomes her protector and hunts Santi's gang across the desert.
Made on a reported budget of just $11,000, The Lawless Frontier is Poverty Row filmmaking at its most literal — a handful of actors, a few days of desert location work, and just enough plot to string together the chases and gunfights Monogram’s audiences paid a dime to see.
