When Frontier Flamed With The Lure Of Gold... And A Woman's Unclaimed Lips
A formula brawling-buddies western where one goes bad and then returns to the fold. Pete Menlo owns some gold claims in Nevada where he is joined by his old friend Andy Martin. Crooked mine-owner Bannon wants to merge their interests so they can create a monopoly but is turned down. Pete is interested in "Nevada" Wray, daughter of mine-owner "Jackpot" Wray, but she has eyes only for Andy. The rejected Pete joins forces with Bannon and they learn that, because of location, "Jackpot" Wray may be the owner of all the gold in the respective veins. Bannon and his men try to get rid of Andy.

"Menlo" (Howard Duff) enters into a slightly uneasy partnership with "Andy" (Lex Barker) to exploit some gold claims they have - much to the chagrin of "Bannon" (John McIntire) who has designs on some of those as he wants to create a sort of mini-conglomorate.
