Plot
Tells the story of James Addison Reavis (Price) and his attempt to gain comtrol of the Arizona Territory through the use of his wife (Drew) who he claims is the heir to a Spanish land grant.
'Wood'-ness
Ed's involvement is apparently limited to stunt work. Rudolph Grey's Nightmare of Ecstacy states that Ed worked as a stunt double in drag and falls off a coach. Having watched the film, the only logical person for him to doubling for is Ellen Drew in a scene about and hour and a half into the movie, where she and Price are dragged from their coach by an angry mob.
For absolute completists only. (It's a good film, though. -ed.)
Best Line
Not applicable.
