An American western directed by Armand Schaefer, starring John Wayne.
An apparent murderer on the run from the law falls in with a band of outlaws. It becomes apparent that he is not guilty and the real killer is revealed.
This was very standard, but not annoying. Plot and characters were mostly clear and the audio and video were passable. Most of all, this was boring. All of these western films got cranked out because they were the thing to do, but watching ALL of them seems an interminable and unrewarding task. I have doubts if I will finish my viewing and review writing of public domain films. I rate this tolerable.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Blue Steel A.K.A. An Innocent Man, Stolen Goods (1934)
An American western directed by Robert N. Bradbury, starring John Wayne.
An undercover marshall teams up with the local sheriff to stop a gang of thieves and save the woman whom they have kidnapped.
This was really bad. The audio was the worst and sounded like it was recorded inside a tiny plastic box. Much of the film was accompanied by the muted sound of horses running. The video was shoddy, but there were no editing mistakes and the camera-work looked decent. The plot was not clearly communicated, partially because of inability to hear what the actors were saying. Speaking of actors, the acting was terrible. Long scenes of horse riding slowed the pace to a crawl. Put all of this together and you've got shit. No wonder the initials of the title are BS for bullshit. I turned it off at about 40 minutes of the 54 minute duration. Now that's bad! I rate it shit. DO NOT WATCH!
