The Law of 45s, also known as Law of the Forty-Fives and Sunrise Guns, is a straightforward Saturday-morning talkie programmer in which Tucson Smith (Guinn ‘Big Boy’ Williams) and his sidekick Stoney Martin (Al St. John) thwart a dastardly lawyer (Ted Adams) and his bunch of low-down dry-gulchers. There’s no sign of Stoney Brooke, though. There are only two Mesquiteers.
.
The bad guy wants the whole valley, you know how they do, and kills ranchers who refuse to sell out at low prices.
.
Big Boy’s horse is big and white, as is his Stetson. There’s a fair maid for Big Boy to woo ‘n’ win (Molly O’Day) and her pa is mighty pleased with the idea because Big Boy has saved the ranch.
.
Oh, you know.
.
There are two songs the cowpokes croon round the camp fire.
.
It was based (amazingly) on a novel. The writer’s name was very good: William Colt MacDonald. He was of course famous for the Three Mesquiteers series.
.
Good for Big Boy to get to lead in a Western anyway.
.
57 minutes of fun.
