Wayne's Worst???

Advantages: Some good acting
Disadvantages: Bad effects, black and white may put some off

The stage is dubious about leaving as there are Indians in the area but they are escorted by the American Calvary so they start on their journey. Before long the stage is stopped and the sheriff meets Ringo, an escaped prisoner, played by John Wayne and he is re-arrested and ...
