From Broadway to Cheyenne

Also known as From Broadway to Cheyenne, this Rex Bell vehicle is an excellent amalgam of the western and gangster genres. Bell stars as a frontier detective who finds out that the territory has been invaded by a mob of New York gangsters. Displaying their usual strong-arm tactics, the villains set up a protection racket, targeting the local ranchers. But these citified thugs are no match for the tenacious Westerners, and pretty soon it is they who are screaming for help. Some genuinely hilarious comedy relief is provided by George Hayes, still several years removed from his familiar "Gabby" persona.
