Younger Brothers, The (DVD)

An outlaw gang's hopes of a pardon are threatened when they're framed for crimes they didn't commit, in this action-packed Technicolor Western adventure, which stars Wayne Morris, Janis Paige and Robert Hutton. Promised their freedom if they keep out of trouble, paroled bank robbers Cole (Morris), Jim (Bruce Bennett) and Bob Younger (James Brown) join kid brother Johnny (Hutton) in Cedar Creek, Minnesota, unaware that their troubles have already begun. Set up by Daniel Ryckman (Fred Clark), an ex-Pinkerton cop who claims they cost him his job, Johnny is falsely accused of murder, while sultry bandit Kate Shepherd (Paige) robs a bank and makes Cole her fall guy. Filled with the kind of rough-and-tumble excitement that defines its genre, The Younger Brothers is a rousing screen experience that's sure to please.
