Man in the Saddle

Owen Merritt (Randolph Scott) is a small farmer raising cattle. Laurie (Joan Leslie), his self-willed girlfriend, Laurie (Joan Leslie), marries callous cattle rancher Will Isham (Alexander Knox) but she her feelings towards Owen are not dampened.. Owen however does not turn against Isham for either his sweet heart or the land illegally seized by the latter. However, soon Owen finds that his cattle are stampeded and his men are killed, and suspicion rises against Fay Dutcher (Richard Rober), Isham's foreman. He gets consolation from a schoolteacher, Nan Omelette (Ellen Drew). Owen is thus between the two women who are ready to help him-Laurie and Nan.
