In his second
Western for Poverty Row producer
A.W. Hackel, former football star
Johnny Mack Brown goes in search of both his long-lost father and foster-sister. Mistakenly believing that they murdered his young son
Johnny,
John Wellington (
William Farnum) kills three ruffians and becomes a wanted man. Young
Johnny (
Barry Downing), who had survived the attack, is instead raised by rich
Sir George Thorne (
Lloyd Ingraham). The latter's old-fashioned ideas causes him to lose both his son-in-law,
Gentry Winters (
Frank Ball), and young granddaughter,
Gale. In his search for the missing girl,
Johnny ( now
Mack Brown) learns that
Winters has been killed by
Trent (
Earl Dwire), an outlaw whose advances
Gale (
Beth Marion) had spurned. Aiding
Johnny in his quest to capture
Trent is one
Rand who, it turns out, is none other than the missing
John Wellington. Although initially opposed to
Johnny's courting of
Gale,
Wellington/
Rand changes his mind in due time and heroically takes a bullet meant for his son. After finishing off the murderous
Trent in a final confrontation,
Johnny can begin to plan a more peaceful future with
Gale. According to contemporary reports,
Between Men was filmed in six days at Lone Pine, CA.
