About Men of the Plains
The Government sends Dean, Baxter, and Gordon to investigate a series of train holdups. Travis is behind the robberies and they are soon on his trail. When things get hot, Travis has a plan of double-crossing his own men that will enable him to keep not only his gold but also the money it is insured for.
Directed by Robert F. Hill, Men of the Plains leans on a strong ensemble — Rex Bell, Joan Barclay, George Ball — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1936.
