Texas Cyclone

Once lost, can justice be reclaimed?

He was born Marion Morrison, but Hollywood changed his name to John Wayne, and generations of moviegoers remember him simply as "The Duke." But the undeniable charisma which seduced his fans and brightened the screen was apparent in his earliest performances, long before he became a star. Those films, like the 1932 classic Texas Cyclone, preserve one of the richest treasures of the John Wayne legacy - the portrait of an icon in the making.

In this story of reclaimed justice, Wayne separates himself early from the herd as Steve Pickett, the only cowpuncher at the Diamond Bar Ranch who´s not buffaloed by Utah Becker (Wheeler Oakman) and his band of rustlers who´ve been robbing Helena Rawlins (Shirley Grey). Her husband Jim, long a champion of the townsfolk of Stampede, Arizona, disappeared under mysterious circumstances five years earlier. After reports of his death, she resigned herself to a life of mourning. When Tim McCoy blows into town as Texas Grant, everyone agrees he´s the spittin´ image of the late Tim Rawlins - and soon he´s wrangled into filling the dead rancher´s boots. To keep her land and restore order to the town, Helena agrees to go along with the ruse. Tex teams up with loyal Pickett and a few good guys to run the outlaws out of town...finally, the big shootout between Tex and Utah produces some surprising results.
