Coroner Creek (Columbia). For a reason which he carefully keeps to himself, Randolph Scott, the hero, stalks and finally gets George Macready, the heavy. During the unnecessarily long time the job takes, he becomes foreman for a ranch-owning widow (Sally Eilers), converses occasionally with a lady (Marguerite Chapman) who runs a hotel with photogenic interiors, and is chivalrous to the heavy's drunken wife (Barbara Reed).

ABC pays him $165 a week for a 40-hour week for 20 hours of actual playing. Grace Rongetti, Nick's widow, pays better than that, complaining only when Bobby gets tied up at the studio and has to send a substitute down...
