    Yikes, this is a mess. We start with "Campo" (Warner Baxter) in a small town with his friends, flirting outrageously, before they all head off into the countryside en route to Buenos Aires where he is racing his horse. Not long into their trip they encounter an aircraft that's broken down and onboard is acclaimed Parisian chanteuse "Yvonne" (Ketti Gallian). Stopping off briefly in an hotel, she races ahead for a performance and he follows on for his race - only to discover that his horse has been pinched and is now racing under the colours of "Tito" (J. Carrol Naish). Of course, "Campo" can't prove anything and after a court tells him to get lost he alights on his own solution. Like her plane, this just doesn't fly. For the most part it seems to be an excuse to showcase some Gaucho singing, dancing and boozing whilst Baxter's accent gets thicker and the photography looks more like a series of outtakes from a "Zorro" serial. Will he get his gal and the horse? Well maybe she can sing while he eats the horse? Anyway - the dialogue is shocking and I'd just avoid, sorry.

Ramrod

A cattle-vs.-sheepman feud loses Connie Dickason her fiance, but gains her his ranch, which she determines to run alone in opposition to Frank Ivey, "boss" of the valley, whom her father Ben wanted her to marry. She hires recovering alcoholic Dave Nash as foreman and a crew of Ivey's enemies. Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates. Connie's boast that, as a woman, she doesn't need guns proves justified, but plenty of gunplay results.

There is bitter conflict between the callous Hud and his stern and highly principled father, Homer. Hud's nephew Lon admires Hud's cheating ways, though he soon becomes too aware of Hud's reckless amorality to bear him anymore. In the world of the takers and the taken, Hud is a winner. He's a cheat, but, he explains, "I always say the law was meant to be interpreted in a lenient manner."
