“THE MARSHAL OF MESA CITY”
George O'Brien’s outdoor drama. \ “The Marshal of Mesa City,” is one of i the most exciting of all the O'Brien I films. Laid in the frontier days of] early Arizona, the picture offers the] western star one of his most action- j packed and dramatic roles to date. The story introduces O'Brien as an I ex-marshal. On his way to his ranch,! in the south-eastern part of the state, j to lead a quiet life after years of service in bringing law and order to fron- 1 tier communities, O’Brien comes to Mesa City, a progressive little town struggling to free itself from the despotic rule of its outlaw sheriff. Pressed into service as marshal when the town's marshal is killed. O’Brien is torn between duty to his fellow-man and his personal desire to retire, but agrees to rid Mesa City of its outlawry. Suspense, gun fights, hand-to-hand battles, comedy, tragedy and a tender romance are interwoven before the! popular outdoor star accomplishes his j purpose.
