As the Sun Went Down

The film tells the story of "Colonel Billy," a female gunfighter who is both feared and ostracized by the men in Rattlesnake Gulch. Despite her skills, the women of the camp avoid her due to rumors about her behavior. The arrival of Gerald Morton, his wife Mabel, and preacher Albert Atherton complicates the dynamic, especially as Atherton encourages Billy to change her ways.

As news of a gold strike spreads, Rattlesnake Gulch becomes a magnet for new arrivals, challenging Billy's role and prompting her to confront her past. The film features notable performances from Edith Storey, Lew Cody, and Zasu Pitts, among others. With its blend of drama and western elements, As the Sun Went Down captures the tension and transformation of frontier life during a pivotal moment in American history.
