Code of the Range

The film revolves around the cattlemen, led by "Calamity" Parker, as they oppose sheepherders' use of their rangelands. The plot thickens with cattlemen Lee Jamison and Ed Randall dissenting from the majority, as they extend free grazing privileges to sheepman Angus McLeod. Saloon owner Barney Ross complicates matters further by charging each cattleman $500 to keep the sheepmen away from the range and out of town.

This narrative reflects the era's struggles and societal issues, making it a notable piece for collectors interested in westerns and dramas from the 1930s. The top cast, including Charles Starrett and Edward Coxen, contributes to the film's authenticity and appeal within the genre. As a product of Columbia Pictures, this release also showcases the classic filmmaking style of its time, which can be attractive to physical media collectors looking for period-specific works.
