The spoiled, hard-partying son of a senator runs away from home after being reprimanded by his father, finds himself down-on-his luck in a tiny western town, and is rehabilitated through the friendship and wisdom of a kind and patient rancher.
Directed by Lew Landers, Border Cafe leans on a strong ensemble — Harry Carey, John Beal, Armida — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
