Sunset of Power

Sunset of Power

They called him WOMAN RUSTLER!

NR 1936 · 66 min · ★ 8.0 · Western

Sunset of Power is regarded as one of Buck Jones' more meritorious Universal westerns. The heavy of the piece, grim-visaged cattle baron Neil Brannum, drives everyone around him mercilessly, including his own granddaughter Ruth. In retaliation, a caped-and-masked Spanish bandido stages nightly raids on Brannum's spread.
