Undercover federal marshal John Carruthers (John Wayne) is suspected by the local sheriff, Jake (George Hayes), of stealing the town's payroll, but his suspicions are sidelined when young Betty Mason (Eleanor Hunt) announces that her father, an important businessman, has been murdered. Without him, supplies will not reach town, and homesteaders will starve.

Audience Reviews for Blue Steel

Feb 15, 2012

Made in 1934 here is a standard action oater from those glory days in Hollywood, with plenty of rootin', tootin' shooting and plenty of riding across open prairies surrounded by mountainous plateaus to save the day. Gabby Hayes admirably seconds the action.

Just your regular run-of-the-mill western. If it wasn't for John Wayne, nobody would throw the skull of a drunken rat after this one.

One of John Wayne's best Western detective film. Not much of the twist and suspense but the acting is still classic. Wayne portrait as a young man following a thief while being suspected and followed by a local Sheriff. Later they joined up to lasso ...(read more)up all the bad guys and save the day.
